Orlando Tax Day Tea Party

Here's my coverage of the 4/15/09 Tea Party thing Orlando FL. This is my first video like this so I hope you guys like it.

Hopefully I'll be making some more videos soon.

My Plans

The opportunities this year are amazing. I have the chance to be a part of one of the most historic elections in the history of our nation. Regardless of your political views, that fact can hardly be disputed. I hope to gain from my work on this campaign knowledge and experience I can use for the rest of my life.

Back Home

Ah, back at sea level. I return having experienced the greatest thing I have ever seen or done, with every of the past few days better than the next. Right now I am in the process of uploading Youtube videos, but here's some photos of last night:

First, a shot of a Denver street with a The Onion newspaper machine.


"Code Pink" Protesters


A shot of Invesco (Mile High) Stadium and the decontamination facilities next to a truck labeled "Mass Causalities Response".


Once inside you can see me in all my horrible haircut glory.


Ah, Invesco Field


The Stage


We were located right next to the press.


Joe Biden


Teleprompter


There more people at the stadium last night than there are in most of the surrounding counties in North Carolina combined here.


Barack Obama!!

Rob Riggle Photo

Oh yeah, and here's a photo of me with Rob Riggle from the Daily Show. Great guy.

Wednesday!

Yeah, I've been slacking off on my posts. In my defense I've been getting home at 2-3 in the morning about everyday (4-5 in the east coast).

I've also (slowly) been uploading videos to youtube of what I've been doing.

Here's the convention floor:

National Anthem


Singing and Dancing


Caroline Kennedy


Ted Kennedy Movie


Ted Kennedy Speaking!



And this all from Monday night! Bear with me, as uploading videos takes forever.

Just Arrived at My Hotel

I left this morning from Norfolk, VA at 10:35 and finally made it out here a little while ago, and I'm now sitting in my hotel room at the Doubletree.

Some of the highlights of my day so far:
1) I met the mayor of Cincinnati on accident. Nice guy.
2) I met Lucy Arce Ferrer, a senator from Puerto Rico and an amazing woman.
3) I took the wrong shuttle to the wrong Doubletree, though I did meet some interesting people from Southwest Airlines on the shuttle back to the airport.

One thing that is no good is the internet on my phone stopped working mysteriously and the hotel is charging internet, but this is my "free" day.

Last Day in Camden!

Everything's almost set before I leave tomorrow morning for Denver. I've set up my phone so that any pictures I take will be automatically updated to my Flickr account.

You can access my Flickr page here or simply use the flickr "bar" on the side of the page or below.

Now I just need to pack a few more things and find my socks. Wish me luck!
