I'm gonna read through this thread when I have a few hours but I need to add this. I went last night and it was SO AMAZING. Our seats weren't great (behind the podium) but whatever, I could see and hear and it was SO FUCKING COOL.
A few observations: - The Berners who were booing were annoying, but they were a small group (the majority of Bernie fans there had tape over their mouths, which was preferable ) Every time they started, the crowd quickly drowned them out. - Katy Perry looked and sounded great. - The man who spoke about his son who was KIA gave the most moving speech of the night. The crowd was in tears. - Chelsea was on point. She looked beautiful and spoke beautifully. - The all-gender bathroom was the spot. No line! - The balloon game was...intense.
I don't know how to make smaller pictures. Feel free to re-size if you do...
So my friend's friend blogged about being a CA delegate:

I was fascinated by his claim that many of the Berners who were trying to cause trouble last night weren't even actual delegates. They were randoms with a cause. Some of the Berners left early and just gave their credentials to the rabblerousers.

That makes sense to me. I was having trouble understanding how anyone who goes through the trouble of becoming a delegate would show up just to protest.

So incredibly cool!!! How did you get to go?
A friend was working and she called me at 3:30 to say if I could get down there quick, she had tickets. So I dumped my kids with the closest breathing human and headed down!
