I'm sitting in the Denver airport right now, can't believe I'm going home. What a trip. Let me backtrack a little. After I posted last (wednesday afternoon i think), not too much happened- I worked Security (0kay- "access control") at the Convention Center for a Viewing Party of the Pepsi Center. Then met up with the normal crew, got a late dinner aaround 10:30, and headed back to the bus to go to Regis. We saw Keith Olberman on the way, which was awesome, and I got a picture and my press badge autographed.
But I'm sure you're more concerned with the Invesco Field acceptance speech!! Thursday we woke up around 10am (first day of sleeping in!), got dressed, picked up Subway and called a cab. Of course the cab never showed, so we took the packed city bus down to the stadium. No parking allowed at the stadium (I think for security reasons) but nearby businesses were selling parking spaces for $60. Ouch! We finially got there.....and by 'there', I mean really, really far from the enterence. Walked down streets, a steep hill, and through aisles and aisles in the parking lot. We finally got into Invesco around 1:30, 2:00ish and found our seats. John and I were in the 200-level (Invesco goes from 100-level to 500-level) in front of the jumbotron. Ashley, Kyle, and Mitch were also 200-level but were much farther back, so we eventually snuck them down to our seats. We had a pretty good view; obviously we were far away but the 100-level seats in our section had their views blocked by all the media tents, so we were appreciative of our view!! For a bit, there wasn't anything going on on the field but we could see into the media tents of MSNBC, FOX, CNN, etc. so we kept busy by watching them tape shows, watching Katie Couric get her makeup done, Michelle Obama walking in and out of tents, etc. Then some bluegrass country band played a couple songs, they took another break, and it started to get more interesting. Unfortunately, my plane is boarding so I've got to stop, but later tonight I will put up pictures and finish blogging!
