Thoughts on This Evening

August 29, 2008 by admin · View Comments

I will post some photos tomorrow when I have a little more energy . But I did want to convey some thoughts while they are still fresh in mind.

I knew that tonight would certainly be different and much larger than the last several at the Pepsi center, but something about this evening far exceeded expectations. Perhaps it was the fact that 84,000 people came out to a football stadium to hear a speech about the future of their country. Or maybe that so many in the audience were young people who have been inspired by a presidential candidate for the first time in their lives.

I spent most of the evening wandering around on the floor of the Mile High Stadium, looking up at the tens of thousands of people that slowly filled the seats over the course of the evening. It added such a new dynamic and a new energy to the week. All of us pumped up and excited to help Barack Obama close the deal and get elected our next President of the United States.

The moment that stuck out the most for me was right before Barack Obama took the stage. For a few minutes the entire stadium, every one of the 84,000 in attendance, was completely silent watching a biographical short film of our nominee. The silence, of course, was broken with a sustained five minute roar when Barack Obama appeared on stage at the conclusion of the film.

At the end of this exciting evening my wife Melissa, who came here as a Clinton delegate, turned to me and said “now I see what you’ve been seeing in this guy.” A united house once again.

Pictures from Day 4 and Update on Activities #dnc08

Another day with very little time to post. Yesterday was an electric night at the Pepsi Center, with a surprise appearance by Barack Obama following Senator Biden’s speech. President Clinton was amazing as always, as was Senator Clinton’s motion to close the roll call vote on the floor. I happened to be right in the tunnel leading to the New York delegation as she made her way to the floor, so I was able to snap a quick photo before she headed out!

Everyone here is fired up for the big night at Invesco field. Security is going to be tight there this evening and there are a bunch of restrictions on what can and can’t be brought into the field. Unfortunately one of the restrictions is on camera lenses larger than 75mm, so tonight’s photos won’t be as cool as the last couple of nights.

We have a ton of video recorded.. Jen Just has been all over town the last several days getting some awesome footage. We even got Will i. Am speaking about how the “Yes We Can” video came about. All of that and more will be coming later this weekend, we just don’t have time here to edit all of it together unfortunately.
