I've been pretty busy and not a lot of downtime for blogging the last two days. I wound up getting into the hall yesterday right before Ted Kennedy spoke, the security lines were abominable in their length. Definitely though, that presence was the crowd energizer of the night. The later speeches were good, just not as exciting in the Hall. One thing I watched was the people handing out signs, they have quite a job, and a lot of them go unused. The 'Kennedy' ones and the 'Michelle" ones, which were first and last, got lots of use. But inbetwee, they handed out "One Nation" and "Common Values Common Purposes" neither of which the crowd on the floor wound up using during the speeches in-between.

Prior to the speech, I stopped by for Jared Polis, who spoke with a couple of other congressional candidates about their endorsement of the "Responsible Plan" along with Matt Stoller. And before that, hung out in the blogger tent, which is what you might imagine what someone would come up with if they wanted to put together a blogger sweat shop, with free meals and free beer so as to keep the bloggers on their couches happy. I got a pass from Arianna for Huffington Posts free massages that I need to schedule. There are yoga classes at 7 am where I will likely only participate in spirit.

I'm staying at a Ramada hotel down a bit from downtown, and yesterday thought I'd walk out Colfax to the hotel from the arena, instead of the parties, but wound up walking the wrong way... what else. I saw a couple of great bands on Monday, going up to Red Rocks for a concert with Crow and Matthews, and then a B St Band that played Springsteen till late.

I'm gonna try and go by Energy caucus today at 11, before stopping by a Warner function and a Dean BBQ with bloggers, before heading into the Arena and blog something of substance. Mostly here, I feel like I'm wondering how I'm gonna get to the next place on time, and if I'll ever blog it all.
