Destiny Nabozny August 28

Everyone was very worried about whether or not we would be able to get tickets to the Barack Obama speech. We got incredibly lucky. Dr. Ardrey received 9 tickets to attend the speech; she explained that she had to sell her soul to get them, and we were basically in debt to her for the rest of our lives.
When we reached Invesco Field, we realized that the line to get in was approximately two miles away from the stadium. So, we waited for nearly two hours to get in and had to tolerate two men (one from Switzerland and one from Germany) who were from a Switzerland television station. Travis, being very nice, agreed that the men could follow us around for the day. The man with a train-size camera said "Just ignore us". Alright, I don't know about you, but when someone has a HUGE lens "all up in your grill", it isn't easy to 'ignore' it.
Regardless, the speech was utterly amazing. We were so pumped when Obama reached the stage and you could feel the crowd explode. It was an amazing time.
