One of my first assignments is to gather all the event flyer's mailed to TWC, all the tickets and attaching invites requesting our presence, and all the events we only know about through web browsing. With all the information, I have then been asked to compile the stack into something of a schedule: organized, complete, chronological, and easy on the eyes.
As I'm doing this I notice all the interest groups, all the causes, and the variety of all agendas. As much more work as that requires for the organizing compiler, it forces me to realize what a big outlet this convention is. Not only for those involved, but for those groups advancing their own agenda, and what a melting pot of ideas, cultures and causes are going to be right here in Denver, very very soon. And the expansive importance of the DNC in Denver, is just starting to sink in. Thousands of People, all involved in something, all believing in something (not necessarily the same thing), coming together, to listen, to act, to react, to protest, to do something. The DNC is a chance for people to gather and voice democracy. It's going to be an inspiring thing to witness and partake in.

Megan, you could substitute RNC for DNC and the story would be the same.
I am glad you are doing this. I am also going to be doing a blog for the RNC and will send you the link. Let's compare after this is all over and we have a moment to think about it.
