4:30 PM: What an adventure getting into here this was. After meeting up with Chris Rabb of Afro-Netizen, we waited in line outside of the Hyatt to catch a delegate bus to the stadium. The line was massive and it was hot out there. All of a sudden an "out of service" city bus pulled up on the adjacent corner and the door opened and a cop stepped out and waved us over and we hopped on and were taken to Invesco.
Driving in, the number of people lined up in the hot sun to get in was enormous. Members of the press could bypass the long line, but, at least in our case, it wasn't clear where the press needed to go in through security. It took several misdirections from staff, a couple of friendly Secret Service men, and a lot of walking to finally get in.
