Right now, Denver is hosting the Democratic National Convention. The last time it was held here was in 1908. So, last night Deena and I ventured to downtown to witness history in it's making. It was pretty entertaining to say the least.
I'm not sure if I was more intrigued or a little scared. When you find yourself between police lines and rioters/protestors, you begin to think the worst!! At one time I told Deena, "if anyone goes crazy and the police even look like their about to use tear gas, I'm running!!"
I will say it was pretty intense to be standing where we stood and see what we saw. Even though these pictures don't really capture the full sense of how many people there were, this may give you a small glimpse...
I've never seen so many police in one place, except on tv or movies. I'm not sure if it made me feel more safe, or scared. ??

(above: so this is part of when we were between the police lines and rioters/protesters. Check out the guy below and what he had to say. Deena and I were like, "why?" and what did it have to do w/ Obama. Whatever!!)
(above and below: are of a LONG line of bikers protesting shouting, "less oil, more bikes". It caused quite a jam towards the end)
