And the 6,490 fans were greeted with a stunning performance as Bolt set a world record in [...]

Denver Broncos Cheerleaders are in Denver. Hmmm.
And by we, I mean me. OliverWillis.com is one of the blogs officially credentialed to cover the Democratic convention in Denver. I’ve never been to a convention (a political convention, that is, I’ve *ahem* been to a comic book convention or 10) so this should be pretty cool.

I took this picture almost two weeks ago. I don’t know much about construction, but I think it’s amazing you can destroy then build a new building in a major city like this and not have the entire block fall over. Science!

RELATED: John McCain’s First Term
2013. Wow, we’re finally here. It feels like just yesterday it was 2008 and the world was so different from how it is now, in 2013. My, how things have changed! And strangely, everything changed for the better, especially for me. It’s as if I wrote a fictional account of [...]

I’m planning on attending this event with McCain and Obama tomorrow (thanks to Mediabloggers). I’m probably more interesting in observing the press than the candidates at this point. I’ll report on if there’s any actual swooning for McCain.
