Denver plans are a-comin' together

If you didn't know, Kimberly and Chris are making their way to Denver next month for the Democratic National Convention. We have plane fare. We have a hotel room. We have a rental car. However, we are not delegates, nor do we have any convention tickets. But just to be there for such an historic event will be ever-so-satisfying. And who knows? Maybe by chance somehow we'll find or talk ourselves getting into something....

If you haven't heard, Barack Obama is moving his acceptance speech from the "paltry" confines of the Pepsi Center to the 76,000-seat Invesco Field at Mile High football stadium. According to Senator Obama's website, the method to acquire free tickets for that historic outdoor encounter will be announced the closer we get to the actual date. To augment our chances on getting in though, we've donated (again) to the cause. Donate by July 31 be entered in a drawing for you and a friend to get in for 2 days and nights to the convention, meet him backstage, and see his speech live and in person. Oh my stars! Donation sent. Baited breath held...


In the meantime, before the convention's festivities begin, there happens to be a little something called a "Rockies / Reds baseball game" Sunday afternoon August 24th at Coors Field. Of course, tickets for that are already coming to us in the mail. Per the luxury of James and Chris's adventure in "Club Level" seats in Baltimore, Kimberly and Chris will have their snacks and drinks delivered to us in our seats for this one too. Section 234, row 11. That's the yellow section immediately to the third base side of the pressbox. Cool.

More Denver excitement to follow....
