Inside the Pepsi Center

"Doings in Denver" Part 3



After two days of stuffing envelopes and running errands in the back rooms of Denver's Convention machine, some of my family members got to see the front of the house during a VIP sneak peak at the Pepsi Center, where the convention will actually take place.

As far as I can tell from their photos, it's classic democratic blue, with enough sound and video technology to power 5 rock concerts.

There are lots of spaces for the press, both inside and out. Workers are still putting the finishing touches on most areas.










They found the Connecticut seats, stage right and about half-way up. Here's Maggie standing at the microphone where our state's delegates will cast their vote for Obama.









Our hotel is pulling out all the stops. They just stopped by and replaced all the multi-colored candies with red-white-and-blue. Tootsie Roll anyone?
