Convention Night Number Three: A Big Colorado-Style Welcome, With Menacing Cops

In honor of National Security Night, sixteen billion riot police were deployed outside Pepsi Center. We saw some protesters, too! They had the usual "No blood for oil" type signs, and many were shirtless. So of course we took a picture of the boring old police. Your editor has perhaps the worst seat in the house tonight: BEHIND the stage. A big screen showing the proceedings is cleverly hidden behind a massive rack of lights. And all around, people bitch endlessly about their terrible view, how they can't see or hear anything, and how there is NO SAVING SEATS, not even for old people who had the temerity to get up and go to the bathroom. Jesus Christ.
