"I thought I was attending the DNC, but the massive police presence last night made me feel like I was in a war zone. There were even armored trucks/tanks. Let&amp;#39;s put it this way, we had enough men to successfully attack the three other four corner states. I wouldn&amp;#39;t have been surprised if I woke up this morning and Colorado was four times its size!\n\nMostly, the police seemed to be there to oversee an anti-war protest, which was huge but not out of hand. It was actually quite civil for a protest. I watched it the way kids watch a parade at Disneyland.\n\nBeginning the long trek to the Pepsi Center, I ran into Jamie Foxx, who was having trouble getting his friends past the first security check, and also Idina Menzel, the original Elphaba of Broadway&amp;#39;s Wicked, and redhead Alicia Witt. Apparently Bradley Cooper of Alias and Seth Meyers of SNL were too cool to pose with a Tony-award winner, a prodigy actress, and me, so boo to them. I didn&amp;#39;t even bother to take their photo surreptitiously.\nI literally was sitting in the very last row. I would have sulked, but then the man next to me said he was an aide to the Colorado Governor and that the Governor&amp;#39;s son was actually sitting in front of me. Needless to say, it was packed.\nBill&amp;#39;s speech was great, in my opinion. He made all the other speakers, including Biden, look like amateurs. People were so excited swaying their flags to the chant of &amp;quot;Yes We Can&amp;quot; that the floor shook. I don&amp;#39;t think even Obama got as enthusiastic a reception as Bill did.\nI mistakenly exited through the service entrance, which gave me a backstage peek into the copy center set up on the ground floor of the Pepsi Center. Workers photocopied the speeches in advance and distributed them to the media beforehand.\nBut the true highlight for me was selling my Biden sign for $20 in Denver&amp;#39;s LoDo district about an hour after I picked it up off the convention floor. See, the economy is already improving!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
