The Good News
The good news is that we will be seeing Obama tonight! I still can’t really believe it. The” Little Film Crew That Could” has certainly come far.
We have three credentials that get us into Invesco Field. That leaves two of us out but we’re going to see if we can go back out with two passes and get the other two in (just letting security know now so they can be sure to hunt me down). I think we’ll be able to do it but I dunno. I can’t say it enough that security is no friggin’ joke.
This all happened because we were able to switch out one set of credentials for another. The Perimeter Creds we held didn’t get us in. So I went to the DNCC headquarters (at the Hampton Inn) and tried my luck. After saying I was from Eurovision I was able to get 2 switched. I tried to get the other one changed over but couldn’t. Randomly though, we run into the guy who initially gave it to us and he went to get it switched! RANDOM! But wonderful.
I’m leaving so, so, so much out of the story… and not only of this one but of everything else. I will work quickly to get the video together so you can see all!
The Bad News
Speaking of the video, there’s going to be a little less than there should be (unless our French documentary friends get in touch with me). You see, last night there was this amazing series of events that landed me on the floor of the convention. It was truly incredible. I walked into the hall, down onto the floor, and I was in awe.
While down there, there was a lady filming. I asked her if she’d take my camera so I could speak into it for a minute. She did. Then she asked if I would do the same thing to her camera as she was making a documentary about “access” and she liked my story. So, I talked to her.
When I got back to the “CNN Grill” to meet up with everyone, I told them the whole story. I grabbed the camera and was like “LOOK!” We review the footage right up to the point of the interview and then we all celebrate. Kudos us!
Guess who doesn’t cue the tape back up to the end??
Yeah, me. Soooooo… we ended up taping over the freakin’ interview. UGH. There’s still footage of me walking into the hall and down towards the floor so it’s not a total loss. It’s definitely disappointing though. I’m hoping the French come through to check this out! That would be super if they had the footage!
Where are those abortion protesters to pray for me when I need them????

Seems like this has happened before. I suggest you get yourself a big bell to wear around your…never mind…it would have reminded you, though.
