Although my blog is DNC After Dark, I haven’t been hugely political…till now.
I have to say, I LOVE being in the action, any action really, just love the ’see and be seen’ nature of life. I spent the majority of the day in downtown yesterday, it was, hmm, in a word, AMAZING! I love watching our city come alive, people everywhere, really nice people who are here from all over, which makes that even cooler in my opinion. Yes, I saw policemen who were schlepping more weaponry than an arsenal, but they were also nice as can be, as long as you weren’t pushing T-shirts without a permit, flinging poo, or getting rowdy. So be it, right?
I spent a lot of time at the EV Rolling Showcase at Champa and Speer, checking out the very cool electric cars, including the Tesla (and yes, I sat in it and had my picture taken-cheese!) In the same area was the Solar House that was a submission from University of Colorado, solar ovens, and a wind turbine prop-so cool and very interesting, I must say.
The buzz of the afternoon took me into the evening, to end my night listening to Michelle Obama’s speech! OK, she totally rocked it, hands down, no take backs! She is an incredibly articulate woman who was poignant, real and a huge supporter of her husband as the leader of this country. Her appeal to the woman who is a wife, mother, sister-along with having a career, being entrenched in philanthropy and constantly striving to be the best-is very very attractive.
As you can tell, big Obama fan, actually would like to hangout with them, they seem really fun and interesting and I bet our kiddos would be fast friends….who know’s they may be supporting each other in 30 years on some political level. And that my friends, is how I want my world to look!
