Monday August 25, 2008 Denver Colorado

Well today was day #2 in Denver. I thought Sunday was awesome that was until I got on the floor of the Convention. It is so exciting and everyone is chanting and cameras are flashing. I mean its really live here. I started out my day missing the breakfast in the morning. I woke up at 9:35 instead of 7:00. I know a lot of ya'll are saying what else would we expect. But I ran litterally downstairs to ensure my credential was not gone. and it wasn't. I got my bag of goodies and also 50 more invitations. I decided to go to the Hard Rock Cafe and attend a luncheon with Charlie Wilson. He was awesome and the food and memosas were great. lol. I then attended the Youth Council Press Avail and it was cool. After this I got on a bus to the Pepsi Center so I could reserve a great front seat and that is exactly what I did. Second row from the floor and seeing everyone who is anyone walk by and a lot of video footage for media. After a million photos of fam folks and after a million speakers and after the great, beautiful, wonderful, magnificent John sexy Legend, Michelle Obama finally came on. I almost cried cause she is soo great and of course intelligent don't forget beautiful and she is married to Barack Obama. Hello!!! She gave such an awesome awesome speech. She teared up and show real emotion and was genuine. Her two daughters came out and Obama came on live tv from Kansas? And they acted as a regular family. It was great. After her speech we were invited to the Texas Gala which was held at the Mile High Station. We some how didn't follow the right signs to get to those "special buses" so we had to turn around and walk about 1 mile (seemed like) to our actual bus. But despite all this we got there to once again awesome food and awesome drinks. I saw Shelia Jackson Lee and was tempted to ask her why did she choose to support Hilary instead of Barack but figured I'd be nice. After we went home and I crashed in my bed. Well thats it for day #2.

My First Day in Denver August 24

My first day in Denver was awesome. I arrived at about 9am Sunday morning and as soon as you got to the baggage claim area they had media waiting and watching, volunteers and a welcoming committee. I was so overwhelmed at first. I got a ride to our hotel which is 20 miles from downtown. Yeah we're way in the boonies. lol. We got to the hotel at about 10am and they let us check in. How awesome is that?? Most hotels would have given us a hard time about "early check-in". The hotel room is nice. And the bar is nice as well. lol. I immediately got a call from a fellow member of Fort Bend Democrats (Ibis) and she so nicely invited me to go to the Rockies baseball game with her and family. So I went to enjoy a beautiful, breezy sunny day out in the "Mile High City". After the game Ibis took me back to the hotel and I got ready for the Civil Rights Movement Reception. I got great seats, 11th row on the floor. I saw Maxine Waters, Danny Glover, Tavis Smiley, Jesse Jackson's wife, daughter and son, the girl from the movie Great Debaters (her name soon to come) janelle told me her name is Journey Smollett, and Frankie Beverly. I got awesome pics which I will most definitely download shortly. I left the reception came back to the hotel to grab a bite to eat and to have a drink. The food was awesome and of course the drink was good. I met fellow delegates, and a couple newscasters and camera crews. I had a great first day. I want to really thank all of you who supported me, encouraged me, and contributed to me. With out ya'll I wouldn't have been here.

Registering Voters

This morning at 9:30am 12 community organizers met at the new Fort Bend Democrats Headquarters to into different apartments in the area to register voters. We went through two different apartment complexes and knocked door to door asking if everyone was registered to vote and if they'd like to register. We were able to register 35 people during an hour and a half. We did a great job and we will be going to another apartment complex later today at 6:30 to make sure they are registered as well. If you are interested in this get with the Fort Bend Democrats and we'll be ready to put you to work. Remeber vote OBAMA!!!
