Well, I’m Here

After much hassle, I’m at the Republican Convention (traffic issues).  I parked a few blocks away and walked in.  There were some protesters, but not too many.  I didn’t grab any video because I was preserving battery until I knew if I would have an opportunity to charge.  I do, so I’ll probably go out there in a while and get some video. 

The convention organizers were friendly and helpful.  Because I came to the convention late, they had already pretty much finished all of the registration stuff, so I appreciate them going through extra effort to get me in. 

I’ve met up with Sean Hackbarth, who seems happy as a pig in slop. 

The lineup tonight is great.  Here’re the highlights:

I’m going to try to get some interviews with Wisconsin folks too.
