Saturday Night's Alright For Secutiry

After a paltry 10 minutes going through security and a paltrier 10-minute walk to media pavilion three the explosions started.
Of course I was afraid. As a student turned intern walking through the grounds of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, any loud noises should really startle me.
As it turns out nearby Elitch Gardens was only setting off some fireworks.
Still, kinda scary.
Bad news for all of my loyal readers, it looks like tonight will be yet another yawn filled evening. The AP writers are in town, but don’t have work to do between 10pm and 8am.
Maybe tomorrow night will be a little different.
In other news, the convention starts Monday and security has OFFICIALLY tightened up. My normal entrance to the grounds, the one I’ve been skateboarding through for a couple weeks, has been blockaded by a couple dozen armed security personnel.
C'est la vie.
