Young Turks Arrived in Denver

posted by yturks


It's Sunday 3:30 pm Denver time.  Cenk, Jayar and I have arrived in Denver. From the airport we drove straight to downtown Denver in our gas-guzzling Suburban.  The 16th St pedestrian mall was buzzing with excitement on convention eve. Cenk and Jayar ran into James Carville, and at the Rialto Cafe a Democratic delegate recognized Cenk from the Young Turks. During lunch we watched live news coverage of Michelle Obama arriving in an airplane.

Maraudering squads of heavily armed police officers are everywhere in Denver (except when we needed to find a cop to ask directions).  Prices for everything are jacked up.  Democrats better get a nice tax cut to pay for all these expenses.

We have our credentials to enter the arena tomorrow. Now I realize we have a big problem - how are we going to get all of our crap in there. We are on our own here, and we have a lot of broadcast equipment to haul.  We could use a few sherpas at the moment.

In a few hours we are gathering in Boulder for the Young Turks meet up.  Should be fun.  Time to get some rest now.

There needs to be a TYT meet-up (none / 0)
in Chicago.

Cheryl and I met Cenk last summer at the YearlyKos but we haven't met the rest of the crew.  Plus Chicago is such a fun city.

I'll give it some thought. (none / 0)
My first instincts are Fadó on Clark (or State, I always forget) and Piece in Wicker Park.

Wish We Were There, Too (none / 0)
But since we cannot be, we hope you guys will do some home movies in addition to the interviews, speeches, etc. Turks in action, Turks at the bar, Turks as sherpas, Turks in goofy convention hats, etc.

How about a story on Prostitues and the Convention (none / 0)
How about following up on Dave's previous story about meeting the hooker [;-)] at the web convention with a story about prostitues at the Democratic convention?  I have heard that hookers prefer the Republican Conventions much more because the Republicans traditionally use their services in far greater numbers.

For a real view of Republican family values talk to the hookers at the conventions.
