Quick DNC photo update

Last edited Sat Nov 3, 2012, 03:03 PM - Edit history (1)

We left the free beer emporium, er I mean the VisitMyrtleBeach.com Hospitality Center, at around 4pm. Steve Kornacki was just wrapping up The Cycle:



We headed over to The PPL to see what was going on there. On the way, we saw this cool Obama sand sculpture:



Visit Myrtle Beach!

We also saw lots of cops:



We arrived at The PPL just in time to see Sen. Chuck Schumer, who was dropping by:



Unfortunately the Internet was down at The PPL, making the place pretty useless:



So we left and headed back the way we'd come. On the way we saw our first Romney supporter:



What a tool.

We got back to the MSNBC stage just in time for Hardball:



That's Bill Richardson and Brian Schweitzer with Chris Matthews:



We were trying to get in the shot, apparently Skinner succeeded:



Then we headed back to the convention center. We are in a media space way up in the rafters, behind the stage:





Going to head out and take some more pictures soon!

They really convey a sense of how big this event really is. It is quite interesting to see the media stages with the various pundits in place, ready to do their show.

The last two were the most interesting to me from the standpoint of how they are providing space for the media and the "lookout" that you have.

Thank you for posting these photos!!

...so I had a better "seat" in my house, watching C-SPAN as compared to being in the rafters behind the stage?

Who knew?!?!

HEY...tell somebody (I'm sure that someone, ANY ONE, from the Obama Campaign cares) that they need to get
"Forward" bumper stickers on their store website!
