Denver DNC Local Log #2: Swamis, Movie Stars and Mayors
by Beth Conover on August 27, 2008As mentioned previously, downtown Denver right now resembles nothing so much as a big street fair. Yesterday , a group of kids from our North Denver neighborhood rode down to the MSNBC stage on Wewatta Street to sell Lemonade for Change and netted nearly $70, + some national news coverage. Not bad for an after school jaunt.
A friend sent this account from the Alliance Center office building next to the Big Tent:
If you haven’t already, visit the NYTimes website and look at today’s videos near the middle of the page, then select the video titled the Carpetbagger at the Convention. You’ll see the tent next to our building and then. . . wait for it!. . . he goes inside to speak w/ Ariana Huffington- in suite 307! I’ve never been so proud of that unassuming space. Poise and grace infuse every panel of the recycled, non-toxic, carpet squares affixed w/ vegetable-based mastic. Watch the clip. . .
