A quiet convention afternoon

You know you want another photo montage. Right? Right?!

Anyway, here are some more observations from Denver during the Aug. 25-28 Democratic National Convention (click on images for larger view):


All's quiet in City Park

There wasn't much commotion going on in the city park area, though I heard there was a ruckus around Colfax Monday night. There was some kind of demonstration or protest Tuesday, but there was no cohesiveness to it, and I couldn't really tell what they stood for. So, it was a dud.
Cops were in riot gear just in case

Foam fingers for sale, perfect for the culminating event at INVESCO Field Thursday


That's a lot to say nonverbally

Hey, hippies! Combine two of your three favorite things with the Obama ultimate frisbee!


City ambassadors are everywhere helping people find their way around the streets of Denver

Even though it was a quiet day in Denver, there were activists handing out literature. Lamonte Pryor is with DC vote, which advocates a congressional vote for the District of Columbia. Currently, the district sends non-voting delegates to the U.S. House of Representatives, in the same vein as U.S. territories like Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa.
The shirt and bumper stickers say "Washington, DC . . . Taxation Without Representation"

I just had to include this. The blue bear peeking into the Colorado Convention Center is one of my favorite pieces of public art in Colorado

Below, a driver who is working for DNC08 was sleeping in his car while it was running with the air conditioning going. That's not very green, is it?
Busted!
