This is what we saw when we go there.
It was like playing Where's Waldo or that old computer game where the worm eats the food pellets. There were times where you'd be standing in a line to nowhere only to end up in a circle. Sometimes lines merged sometimes they just dead ended and nobody knew where to go next. After 3 hours of standing in line we were in.
My friend Josh had the hook up on the tickets. We took photographs like nerds.
By this point I hadn't slept in 32 hours. I was so tired but so excited to be there, being part of one of the most important political events of my life. Since I was in middle school I've always been fired up about being involved. In Mr. Hill's 9th grade social studies class I once administered a questionnaire test to show my classmates that just because their parents were Republicans that that didn't mean they were as well. All but one person realized trough the multiple choice test that they would all be Democrats could they actually register to vote. In fact most of them would have been Socialists. The feeling of being in Invesco Field was unlike anything I've ever experience in my life. I was surrounded by thousands of people I didn't know all of whom had the same goal in mind of changing the future.
We found our seats in time to see Al Gore speak. Soon we were caught up in listening to Joe Biden talk and then it was time for Obama.
I'm more concerned now for the future of my country than I've ever been (although I still get a sick feeling in my stomach thinking about the past two elections). But once again, just like with Al Gore and John Kerry before him I am proud to support Barack Obama for President. Its time to let individuals be individuals and let each live according to his or her own rules and ways.
