Today's spottings did not include any potential VP's but did include Shannon and I being caught on camera grabbing up free shirts from Qdoba.
Should have more to report tomorrow, as Sean B from our office ventures to the Hilary speech tonight at Pepsi Center. I'm sure he will have lots of famous people sightings!

A few photos of Day #1
Joe Biden at Boney's
Joe's head is in red:
Some characters and Sean B (who took all the photos - gotta love the iPhone)
This is how we roll, Swat team protecting the streets:
I write this as I hear the helicopters swirling above the office.
The DNC Sites - Or People Watching!
DNC Sighting #1: Joe Biden getting some good 'ol BBQ at Boney's on 16th Street Mall with his wife (and about 20 security folks).
Action Packed
The weekend was a blur of madness and fun.
Friday night started early with getting off at 3:30. Jason and I grubbed on some Wahoo's and did some massive shopping stopping Cost Plus World Market, Michael's, Party City, Lukas Liquors, Costco and then finally King Soopers. On Saturday I was throwing a bridal shower for Rosemary and Shannon (some fab ladies from the office) so I had a lot of prep work. I made some great german chocolate cake bites on Friday night and finally crawled to bed tired at about midnight. Jason so kindly cleaned up my chocolate covered kitchen - there should be pictures, but it looked like I dipped the stove in bark, instead of the cake bites.
Saturday I was up at the crack of dawn slicing, baking, cutting, boiling, and making some fantastic salads, deserts and the like. Lauren came over early to help with last minute prep. The girls from the office got there around 1:00 and it was so nice to have everyone over to help the brides celebrate their upcoming weddings. We played a nice game of Bridal style family fued with prizes to be had. Ate lots of food and gabbed for awhile. After everyone left I hate to admit it but I fell asleep on the couch and woke only to eat dinner and then slept the remainder of the night waking on Sunday well after eight. I probably slept a good 14 hours.
Sunday we headed to Kaladi Brothers for some coffee, made a couple other stops to pick up the dog from my parents, and then I cleaned the house after the big party and we went to see The House Bunny and it was pretty cheesy cute.
Looking forward to a crazy week of DNC madness in the city, and then a 3-day weekend to rejoice in.

I'd hate to be a pony on the highway, but...
Even more I'd hate to be a pony on the airplane. Did you know that the horses fly to Olympics? I have always thought it must be a crazy ride in a horse trailer, but can you imagine a horse flying in Boeing 747 (the only aircraft that their crates fit in to)?
And, did you know that the reason the horse-related events are not taking place in Beijing, but in Hong Kong, is because the air quality and safety of the horses could not be guaranteed. And, did you know that most of the horses left their countries about a month before the Olympics started so they could pass quarantine.
Thought I would share what I learned about the ponies in the Olympics with you all.
