Invesco Field

It felt like being at the Super Bowl. Except that the results will determine the fate of the country as opposed to who will get the bigger commercial endorsements. Barack has the better plan and more enthusiastic fans. Let's see if that will translate into victory.

We arrived at Invesco around 2:30 or so. After clearing security, we tried to get the best possible seats. The Texas Delegation had a good location, much better than our spot at the Pepsi Center. However, it was like a narrow triangle, if you got there early, you would have a much better chance of getting up close. We were not so lucky. My friend Alice got a great seat.

It was hot out on the field when we arrived. I wore my hiking hat until the sun went down. Shawn Johnson said the Pledge of Allegiance. Was Nastia not available or is she a Republican? Maybe she was afraid since she lives in Collin County.

The energy and excitement out there was unbelievable. I was thrilled to hear Sheryl Crow, one of my favorite entertainers. Stevie Wonder also performed. I kept thinking the boss would show but that didn't happen. It felt like a Super Bowl show!

It was great to see Al Gore. Still thinking What if. Also liked the 10 ordinary people explaining why they are for Barack.

Needless to say - Barack gave a great speech. It is about you and not about me truly resonates. I can't remember how many times that I got up to cheer but it was a lot. O BAM A. Still saying it. I thought that Oprah might introduce him, but that didn't happen. They were right, it was Obama's night and that would have distracted from it. Also, Hillary and Bill were not there. That would have also taken away from Barack.

After the speech, Julie, Kathy and I stood behind the CNN set up to get into the camera shot. Julie's husband saw us but mine did not. I will need to find that feed. We got Donna Brazille to say hello to us. And we got Anderson Cooper to turn around too.

We went to the other news outlets. Kathy is great at talking to celebrities. We had our pictures taken with Charlie Rose. Kathy arranged this of course. Charlie seemed tired but Kathy flattered him so much that he was willing to have his picture taken. Even though we were sleep deprived, we kept going. The adrenaline was incredible. A historical night.
