Convention Day 3... update from Denver... Deval Patrick surprise appearance @ Big Tent

The announcement says that he is doing a "live blog" from the Big Tent. I'm not sure where it is being posted, so keep your eyes peeled. He generated quite a lot of interest from the bloggers here at the Big Tent.



Today the heat is a little less oppressing, and I hear it's only supposed to get into the low 80's, which is a huge relief after yesterday. However, the weather report says that tomorrow is supposed to be hot again. Hissyspit and I saw a lot of cool lightning off to the north and east on our drive back to the hotel last night. I have to say that I think Denver is a beautiful city so far.

Last night we tried to make it to the Skylark Lounge for a meet and greet with Dennis Kucinich, but it was scheduled from 9-10, and we didn't get out of the convention hall until after 10. We had a beer at the Skylark anyway, despite not getting to shake hands with Rep. Kucinich.

Tonight is the DU Meetup at Racine's restaurant, 6pm (if you're in the area, please come!) so we will not be going to the Pepsi Center to see Bill Clinton and Joe Biden speak. But, we will hopefully be watching from the restaurant, and should have lots of great pictures of a lot of DUers!

Here are a couple random shots from last night and today...

Those white things are all "Hillary" signs...
