Dave and I had the great luck and opportunity to attend several of the DNC events held in Denver last week. Dave's mom was a delegate from New Jersey, so she was able to sign us up as guests. As a guest of a New Jersey delegate we were able to attend everything hosted by New Jersey. On Tuesday, Dave was able to attend a breakfast and then a roundtable with many political people. That evening, both of us attended the "Four Star, Four State Event" with the delegates from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida. The event was held at Invesco in the luxury suites. We had appetizers and drinks. We also listened to speeches from Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. At the end of their speeches, they went and worked the crowd. Dave and I were able to shake Former President Bill Clinton's hand. It was so great.
As a delegate, Dave's mom was given a guest pass for Thursday night's event at Invesco. As soon as she heard that she would receive one guest pass, she called her co-chair and asked her for her guest pass. I was so lucky that the lady gave me her pass. So, Dave and I were able to attend the event at Invesco. We were able to listen to a lot of speakers including Martin Luther King Jr.'s son and daughter, John Lewis - one of the speakers included in the March on Washington, Al Gore, Joe Biden, and others. We were also able to see Will.I.Am, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, and Stevie Wonder perform. The best part of the evening was hearing Barack Obama give his acceptance speech. It was AMAZING! I am so honored to have taken part in such a momentous occasion.
