Arrived

We have finally arrived in Denver, after a roundabout flight through Houston. We are clearly on the early end of Denver arrivees, as everyone else at this point seems to be Convention staff or eager volunteers. We are staying at (name hidden for security reasons) hotel about 3 blocks from the Pepsi Center, and the hotel's employees are clearly nervous and gearing up for a big week. When I was grabbing breakfast this morning, it is clear that some Denver-ites are nervous that the Convention is going to change the tempo of their city. I think the exact quote was "I hope people don't think we are New York or Chicago, or try to act like we are that way"

We are starting to see information booths in the lobby of the hotel; National Journal is publishing their "Convention Daily" starting today. One interesting tidbit. They are really being true to this sustainable convention at all levels. Even my special Convention room key is 100% biodegradable!

I'm off this morning to staff the Standing Committee Meetings of the Convention. I think today is Credential and Resolution. I'll provide some more thoughts on those this evening!

Tata for now.
