BACK TO HELL DOME: We’re off to Pepsi Center for another long day of indignities and dull horror. If you are a pal, send us a message and we’ll meet up at some media tent or “blogger lounge” before Hillary incites a housewife riot. Also, anything going on tonight? All of our big parties were [...]
SADDEST PROTEST EVER: “A group of about 20 veterans of the Iraq War have begun an unpermitted march from Cuernavaca Park to Civic Center.” [Denver Post]
What’s inside the great bag of stuff given to America’s Media (plus the foreigners) at the DNC? Let’s examine it, together, and wish we were at a fancier event, like the Golden Globes or something.
What’s with the giant blue bear outside the Colorado Convention Center, anyway? Why is he doing the “paws up, bear trash” thing against the glass wall? According to the artist, the monster mutant is just, you know, looking into the convention center like some awful blue Peeping Tom street masturbator. It’s a commentary on the [...]
Republicans are crashing the Dems’ convention, and Democrats will crash the GOP convention, due to the end of civility and the rise of dumb hate. [New York Times] Tonight: Twisted psychodrama as Hillary and her supporters maybe sort of don’t entirely 100% say “You complete me” to Obama, because there’s never been candidate rivalry at [...]
The most important thing to know about the Pepsi Center is that it smells like fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies at the entrance. The reason this is important is that you will get lost a million times, because the whole thing is designed like a labyrinth for repelling enemy invaders: all hallways and floors look exactly [...]
Here is why we missed Ted Kennedy: after entering the Pepsi Center, it takes eight or nine hours to figure out where you are supposed to park your ass and start typing. Also, we were getting chicken fingers. How was Teddy anyway? People were clapping, the sounds suggested. Here is probably where we were supposed [...]
Hey everyone. Sorry we have not been on the Internets much! They have… so much… SECURITY at this place — The Pepsi Center — as well as LOTS OF CONFUSING AREAS. It’s probably much simpler to navigate when the beloved Nuggets basketball team is playing a game here. OMG saw Samuel L. Jackson on the [...]
We advise all readers to crush at least four shots of cheap Canadian whiskey before turning on CNN during this convention. They have been talking all afternoon about, what else, The Clintons and their Drama. CNN’s Denver headquarters are comically located here at the “CNN Grill,” which we assume is supposed to highlight some vague [...]
Oh what the hell, it’s starting! Here’s Howard Dean, doing what he’ll do for the next 400 hours: introducing people who will give speeches. Let’s liveblog it for a few minutes!
Press level, Pepsi Center, 2 p.m. “Mountain Time.”
Last night, your “Polaroid Liz” Glover went to some party in Denver called like, “James Carville’s Cajun Bayou Bash!” No but really: it was some hokey New Orleans stereotype-athon, hosted by James Carville, to show support for HURRICANE KATRINA. Here’s how Liz describes Carville at his own creepy party: “I got a contact high from [...]
Mmm, happy hour with the RNC and PUMAs. Sign us up. Obviously the RNC cares so much about Hillary voters that, um, they’re not letting any of them in: “Space is limited, and attendees must present both a valid DNCC and press organization credential to gain admittance.” So really… what’s going on here. [RNC]
