THE CULMINATION OF THE DNC
Last night we got last minute tickets to join the mayhem that is the DNC - to get into Invesco field together with about 60 thousand other people from all over - we walked for 30 minutes to get there and stood in a 30 minute line. But the program was fantastic!
We had Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, BEP and John Legend performing and all the politicians making speeches. Barrack Obama's speech had the crowd going wild! Fire works to end it off!!

After that we walked for an hour! Back to Larimer and then caught a cab to EXDO - to the Vanity Fair / Google party, WOOOWWWEEEEE It was awesome! Red carpet - security everywhere. We were standing shoulder to shoulder with... wait for the list:
Rachel Leigh Cook
Jamie Fox
Susan Sarandon
Chevy Chase
Ashley Judd
Josh Lucas (omg what a hottie!)
Anne Hathaway (Ok i snuck in a pic of her.. LOL)
Alan Cumming (night crawler from X men)
John Slattery (Vicker Lang from Desparate Housewives and Star of Mad men)
Spike Lee
There were a few recognizable faces whose names and movies for the life of me I cannot recall now!
Other sightings (no shoulder rubbings):
Ben Affleck
Angela Bisset
Oprah Winfrey
Gail (whatshername)
We know Madonna, George Clooney, Scarlett Johannsson, Quentin Tarratino and Matt Damon were in town too - but no sightings of them. :-(
And ofcourse all the American Politicians were everywhere. I didn't take pictures, because when you go somewhere as a guest, you want to appear cool and sane, not like a crazed papazzi! LOL but the memories are imbedded...

So - even though I have been around Celebs for many years, this time was as a fan and not an employee, I never cease to be starstruck and totally taken up by all the glitz. My friend said to me last night: "Delise you must be destined for something great and famous. Lime light seems to follow Delise, because you have ALWAYS seemed to be where all the famous people are"... What can I say? Who knows!
:-)))) Next week is going to be DULL in downtown.. BUT before the dullness...... its time for VEGAS BABY!!!!!! I leave tonight whooo hoooooo.
