| Just got into the blogger area in the Invesco Press Box. Because there are way more bloggers than there is space, everybody is working in half-hour shifts, rotating every 90 minutues, so that is why there will be some downtime tonight. I will try to blog from my iphone when my rotation is off, but I can't make any promises.
Here's the view:
UPDATE: Here's some highlights from the revised schedule tonight:
5-6 PM: Howard Dean, video tribute to Martin Luther King Jr., followed by Rep. John Lewis and MLK's daughter and son, Bernice and Martin Luther King III. Then there is some musical performances by will.i.am and John legend, then Obama's CO director, and Sheryl Crow.
6-7: Mark Udall, Tim Kaine, Bill Richardson, Stevie Wonder, and Al Gore.
7-8: Micharl McDonald performs, then Susan Eisenhower, daughter of Ike, retired generals (hope Wes Clark is one of them), then a lineup of "real people" whose personal stories seem quite compelling
8-9: Obama bio video, introduction by Dick Durbin, then Obama speaks, followed by a benediction and adjournment by Nancy Pelosi.
UPDATE 2: Because of the limited blogger space, there is a lottery for who gets to cover Obama's speech. I will know if I get in around 7:45. If I don't get it, it won't be the end of the world because it would be nice to view it as a spectator, but I would still prefer to bring it to y'all. |
