Obama Acceptance Speech :: Invesco Field :: 08.28.08
::: Obama Acceptance Speech
::: Invesco Field @ Mile High Stadium
::: 08.28.08
We were one of the fortunate people to win tickets for the event through the lottery system. I couldn’t believe how fortunate we were to even be in attendance. Last night was a night for the history books and the air was magical and the crowd was electric. I liked that they had a couple of ordinary people tell their story and why Obama is their man. All joking aside, it really did feel good to be an American last night. I saw a McCain ad last night on TV where he congratulated Obama for becoming the first African American nominated for president. It was weird and I thought I was in an alternate universe. Answer Obama’s call to get involved by starting a new career in education. Degrees are available in Elementary & Secondary Education; start yours today!

This star studded event thrown by Rosario Dawson and Mayor Gavin Newsom at the Vinyl Nightclub had all the Latino stars in attendance, Wilder Valderrama, Jessica “don’t call me Latina” Alba, Sofia Vergara, and Fat Joe. It made me sad because I had never seen Nortec, but there were all these politicos/social climbers just meandering about on the roof and not really paying attention. Little did they know that the sounds of Narco-tec were oozing from the speakers.

Both groups shared a song, but it was all Cat-A-Tac. Every time I hear them , I can’t help but here the souls of Morrissey and Johnny Marr.

I’m speechless. I thought Rage was one of those bands that I had left and dismissed years ago. I will be digging up Evil Empire this evening. Wayne Kramer from MC5 joined the group for “Kick Out the Jams”.
