I’m thrilled to report that I’ll be blogging from the Democratic National Convention this week! The DNC gave the FIJI Water team some credentials (thank you, DNC!), so I’m on my way to Denver with some colleagues.
This is my first time ever attending a convention for any political party, so I’m very excited to see this part of the American political process up close. And regardless of what your political leanings are I’m sure most will agree that it’ll be amazing to attend the first convention ever to nominate an African-American as a presidential candidate. I feel very lucky to be a part of this historic moment.
Okay, I have to pack my bags and head to Denver. Stay tuned for updates! And feel free to mention anything particular at the DNC that you’d like to hear more about: ‘What was it like to hear Senator Obama’s acceptance speech in person?’ ‘Where do the delegates get those silly hats?’ ‘Who throws the best party?’ I’ll do my best to address your questions in a future posting.
