"The hope rises again and the dream lives on . . . ." DNC chat

[gldstwmn]

This guy was calling himself Pope Grope. I'm not sure what his agenda was. With that, I decided to head towards Union Station, where I knew that MSNBC had set up camp. This thing came driving by:



Union Pacific decided to bring in some vintage trains for the occasion:



And when I walked a little further I saw it:



MSNBC

Miss America was there:



And so was Chris Matthews! Here he is getting ready to interview Senator Jon Tester of Montana.



Then this nice lady from Code Pink came along and gave me a "I am a delegate for peace" sticker. Great outfit too.



I hung out and watched Chris Matthews do his interview. Then he came over and talked to us because the lady in front of me kept yelling "We know you vote Republican". He grinned a little and mouthed the words "So what" to her. He walked up to her and jokingly said "You're a loon aren't you?" It was too funny. the he had one of the staff come over and give us all t shirts and hats. I waited to see if I could get a glimpse of Keith Olbermann, who was doing his show on the second story of the that platfrom thingy. It was hot and I was ready to go. So I walked over the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Platte River and I 25 towards home. There I ran into the Renewable Energy Roadshow. Al Gore you are not forgotten:



The city was so full of people that for a minute I felt like I was in New York again. Needless to say, I had a fantastic time. there were a lot of people on bikes so I may ride down tomorrow morning and see what else I can see. Also, everyone was being cool and peaceful. It was a good vibe.
