BMG has Invesco covered!

August 28, 2008 By David

We’ve got the whole scene covered here, folks.  Bob is down on the floor sitting with the Mass. delegation, only a few yards from the podium.  Charley is up in the nosebleed seats with the folks who have “community credentials” (i.e., the tickets that about 55,000 non-connected folks got).  And I am back in the press box with the other credentialed bloggers.  There are more bloggers here than the room can accommodate, but fortunately I won a spot in the lottery, so I’ll be here through Obama’s speech.  I never win lotteries.  Good time to change my luck.  Now THAT’s change I can believe in!  ;-D

I’m the only one of the three of us with an internet connection, so you’ll have to rely on my impressions until the other guys get a chance to post later on.  For now, I can tell you this: the atmosphere in this place is electric.  The stadium is packed to the freaking gills — and when you think about the horrific lines that people had to stand in to make it in here, that’s quite a testament to how badly people wanted to be here.  Charley (on the Twitter feed) is right: this is a unique event in our history.

For now, here is an excellent picture taken by Bob down on the floor: a ten-year-old kid who is an alternate delegate to the convention.

Please share widely!
