Let's All Go To The Democratic National Convention!

So Monday sees the kickoff off one of the three biggest quadrennial parties on a political junkies calendar and one of the biggest parties anywhere, full stop. That's right, the Democratic National Convention is in town, so get ready, Denver. The other two big political wing dings are The Republican bash being held next week (we'll ignore that one, although my GOP sources says their chicks put out) and of course, inauguration! With any luck (and our country coming to its senses) I'll be at the latter, as well. I've always wanted to go to an inauguration! This is my 3rd DNC and I can't wait for it to start. It's a historic moment and I am lucky to be here.

I landed a few hours ago and am settling in to the Mile High City. A word to the wise: Drink ass loads of water. You're high up and it's D.R.Y. Trust me, altitude sickness bites. After my 5 G&T's on the planes in, I am guessing I should probably be sucking down the H2O.

One of the things I am most excited about revisiting here in Denver is Biker Jim's Hot Dogs cart. Some of the best reindeer, elk, buffalo, boar and brats you'll ever taste (yes, he has regular hot dogs, too). Biker Jim knows his shit, so if he tells you that your Alaskan reindeer dog need onions and cream cheese (yes, I said cream cheese) trust him. He's the chef, man! At any rate, he's a DNC preferred vendor and he'll be in his regular spot during the days and word has it that he's going to be visiting the Late Night Lounge a couple of nights, too!
