Our Democratic National Convention Experiences
 

This isn't politics, so no need to move it to DC. It's more sociology. I just thought that maybe the Denver residents could discuss stuff we observe as part of the DNC events.

I'll start. It's Sunday night, and I haven't noticed anything.

Others can feel free to add to this thread as the week progresses.

I was in Denver a couple years ago, and I didn't notice anything then.

I'm not surprised. My cats appear to be sitting this election out as well.

The news was 20 minutes of DNC coverage and 10 minutes of everything else tonight. Other than that, I'm 10 miles from downtown, so I haven't noticed anything yet.

Oh, except that every business in downtown suddenly decided to paint last week. There were "wet paint" signs everywhere.

I suggest both you guys leave town while you still can.

Convention Day One: Not a lot of impact yet. A few helicopters flying overhead, a lot more policemen and security than normal, and no answer yet about the dead Muslim with the big container of cyanide in the hotel about 15 blocks from my house.

DIA parking is even worse than normal.

That's a great idea! I think I'll go on vacation to New York City starting tomorrow. (Really.)

Oh, and apparently Hilary Clinton is staying at a hotel about three blocks from my office. I found out because we saw a big army of orcs and goblins pass through.

Obama is staying down the street, about a dozen blocks from my office.

I never knew we had so many street performers around here.

Oh, and there's a line of police in full riot gear keeping the "HOMO SEX IS SIN" people in check. I feel like we're in a war zone with tourists.

I wish I could go to the rage against the machine concert they're playing in protest of the DNC (much more likely to see them in Minnesota for the RNC protest)

:(

Is that the Fred Phelps crew? You can tell it's them by their "Deliverance banjo player" look.

Did Hillary fly in on her broom?

Hmm...I didn't get a good look at them. I did see some guy getting arrested who looked like he hadn't bathed in a few months. :shrug:

Let it BURN!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHHA
