Elad and Hissyspit got my pic thing sorted, so I can post pics now.
Himself called and the credit card was there. Thank you, FSM, St. Jude, Ceiling Cat, whomever-- especially the nice honest gas station staff!
So here's a few of the pics so far:
Nice DNC Volunteer at the MotelThe Men In Black Guarding the PerimeterThey were a little doubtful about allowing me to take their picture, but I told them how cool they looked. There was a little nonverbal exchange among them and they finally allowed as how I could take a picture. The one not wearing shades asked me if he needed to comb his hair. What a sense of humor, eh?
The Perimeter They're GuardingThe big cyclone fence extends around the entire Pepsi Center and its environs. At ten in the morning it's pretty much deserted. By the time I head back this afternoon it will be a jumpin' place.
The Big TentInside the Big Tent--Refreshments!VERY popular. I had a nice turkey sammich for lunch. Everyone is very chipper. Hissyspit and I listened to Dan Rather upstairs. He wants the media to "grow a spine" or "get a spine implant." Good luck, Dan.
Brian got back with the credentials and I'm heading over to the Pepsi Center. More later!
determinedly,
Bright
