Blogging from the DNC -This post was written on 7/11/2004 Well, I'm in Beantown. Home of the Red Sox, Harvard, and the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. Why? you may ask (I'm asking myself the same question). My brother had his heart set on working for the Democratic National Convention again as part of the Technology Team. A few months ago they told him they didn't have any positions available. But, two weeks ago he received an E-mail asking him if he was interested. Next thing I know, we're booking plane tickets to Boston and arranging lodging. On Sunday, my boss took my brother and I on a tour of Downtown Boston. The grand finale was a walkthrough of Fleet Center in the middle of construction for the DNC. We visited the Boston Bruins locker room and the Celtics locker room. We also saw where our offices are going to be located during the duration of the convention. Of course their is one little hitch. There is not a single computer configured in the entire building. Two weeks to go and all of the suites in Fleet need to be configured and the press tent also needs to be set up. If I were a rookie, I would be floored at the amount of work we still have to do. But after working the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles in 2000, I know the drill. The only thing different is the time and the place. In the end, the cameras record history in the making as we sit back and enjoy a cold one during the balloon drop. I should even have some time to see Harvard Law School and the JFK Library. I had some concerns initially, but after getting acquainted with Boston and watching a free production of Much Ado About Nothing in Boston Common, I am feeling more comfortable with the city. Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage," now is my chance to play my part in history. WDR
