What does a j-walker, two bikini clad girls in a convertible and a French lady have in common? They’re all taking part (in their own way) in the Democrat National Convention.

Thus today unofficially (in my opinion) kicks of the weeklong event that will be the DNC. Barricades are in place, media trucks and their respective satellite dishes are popping up everywhere and an expected 50,000+ visitors are starting to fill the streets.

And, in case you’re wondering: The j-walker was an obvious non-Denverite admiring our diagonal cross walk signs, the bikini girls were from Shotgun Willies promoting that infamous strip club (I heard they sent an invite to a former president – guess who?) and the French lady, well I don’t know what she was up to but she was heading into the Convention Center where the media is starting to gather. Can you say Ooh La La?
