Report from Denver, final convention night, part 2

Here are the pictures...

Crowd shot during the speech...



Oprah Winfrey, as well as Carl Levin, rode in my elevator after the speech. There was a weird incident when Oprah got on the elevator. There was a large group of people behind her who were insisting on getting on the elevator, but security was intervening, as the elevator was full, and people in the elevator started shouting at them. They wouldn't let the elevator close. My impression was that they were following Oprah. Finally they relented, but the whole thing was odd.



So there ya have it... tomorrow, I am hoping to take a drive up to Boulder, maybe into the mountains, to get a little leisure in before my flight in the evening. It's been great! I hope you've all enjoyed my reports! :)

8. Heard there were crowds around Mile High...

watching on screens outside. Any estimates out there on how many didn't get in? Would be great
if there were 100k in total. And what's with the rumors that a hurricane in the Gulf can affect
weather in MN enough to delay the neanderthals' meeting? Maybe some rain later in the week
for the Twin Cities? Help me here.

13. You all have done those of us who couldn't be there a great service...

and I thank you

You know this already, but you were a part of history and by having you and the others there, you gave the rest of us a glimpse of what is to come. First hand, undressed reports are always the best, and you all have done a fantastic job in keeping us informed on not just the major events, but a whole host of the little things that make things in a convention work.

Thank you and everyone else for a fantastic job!
