Currently Watching Whale Rider By Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rawiri Paratene, Vicky Haughton, Cliff Curtis, Grant Roa see related

The Democratic National Convention has been in town for some time now.  It's been fun seeing our streets get cleaned up, people walking and biking around extensively, and solar panels being put up.  I love that the DNC has been deemed a "green event."  Now more than ever, we need to start looking toward clean, renewable energy for a sustainable future for our country - not dirty, finite fossil fuels.  I'm glad this is a big focus of Obama's campaign.  I wish McCain were more on board with these values. 

Watching all of the speeches given at Invesco field on TV was quite inspiring - especially Obama's big speech tonight - and I wish I would have tried harder to get tickets to see the big event live.  Tickets were gone pretty darn quick.  My housemates and I tried looking out our windows when the fireworks were going off (we're just a couple miles away from the action) but alas could not see past the neighborhood trees.

I hope I can someday say that I was at one point just a few blocks away from the President of the USA...
