DNC: Rage Against the Machine Concert, and the protest march into Denver

I attended the free Rage Against the Machine concert at the Denver Coliseum today for the Democratic National Convention. After the concert was a march through Denver to the DNC.

Here's a pictorial history of what went on today as I saw it. If nudity offends anybody, you might want to skip it, as you do see me without a shirt on. Otherwise, enjoy!

Here's a video of the police presence at the event (sorry it's a bit fast).

Check out the protesters doing their thing on the street.

Good times! I did bail before the march reached the DNC, as my eyes are a bit sensitive to teargas (though it turned out peaceful enough).

Big thanks goes out as well to Tent State University in Denver for putting this together. Go check them out!

Now I just have to work through the night to make up the missed work from the day. Benefits of working at home on internet based businesses I guess.

Live Blogging the Mile High Music Festival

Sorry for the delay, but my LifeCast software kicked out on me during the Festival. So instead of getting the full coverage, here's what you get.

Tom Petty was good as always, but almost impossible to get close to. Spoon rocked my world. Moe was pretty good.

All in all the festival was run pretty well. A few niggles though. The premium beer stand was located a good 10 minute walk from any stage, meaning you'd miss 30-minutes of show for each beer. Bud and Bud Light was all that was available. Food lines topped 90 minutes in most cases for food, which wasn't cool either. And bathrooms could be another 10-20 minute walk from most stages, which is too long. Another 30 minutes of music lost. Good think I didn't have to use them too often though, but that was the beer stand location's fault!

All and all, I think I'll be going again next year, for both days this time!
