Worming through Denver

By John Katsilometes

Thousands of Democrats are streaming into INVESCO Field, but ToddKats is moving against the tide. At the moment we're even less than commoners, no tickets or credentials for tonight's speech. But I do have a line into one pass to the show, and that pass is at Willie G's in downtown Denver. So we have parked at a surface lot near the stadium, worming our way into that lot by claiming - accurately - that we are with the media.

The line of people heading into the stadium seems not to end and is teeming with all cultures. We nearly had a dust-up when dozens of convention delegates cut into the line and were practically shouted down by those who have been in line for about an hour now. And, moments ago, two women on mountain bikes carrying "Repent or Die" signs got into a ride-by yell-off with line dwellers who shouted something about ending the war.

This should be fun ...
