It was a star-studded evening at Invesco Field/Mile High Stadium, kind of like the Lollapalooza concert I saw in Scranton in 1992, only with politicians. And even better. As far as I could tell, the show went off without a hitch and lived up to everyone’s big expectations. You probably don’t need me to tell you that Obama’s speech was a humdinger.
Both Mr. Slowpoke and commenter Toby have informed me that the media is obsessing over the Greek columns that were behind Obama, of all things. After all those hours of speeches filled with juicy lines, they’re talking about the freakin’ set decorations?! I’m sorry, that’s just sick. As I noted in the comments to my previous post, I didn’t give the pillars much thought. From where I was sitting, they were but one small part of an overwhelming spectacle.
I have a lot more to say, but I’m delirious with sleep deprivation right now, and I also have a cartoon deadline. I’ll be back tomorrow (Friday) afternoon with a full report. In the meantime, please tell me the TV coverage wasn’t as bad as I think.
