I’m live-blogging the major speeches tonight from Radio Row, inside the Pepsi Center. Madeline Albright just walked past, surrounded by a gaggle of honking press. The thumping bass of the musical interludes is vibrating my chair. There are a lot of very psyched people around here.

The vendors’ food, however, reveals that we are, in fact, attending an event in a hockey arena. Mini-donuts, heat lamp pretzels, nachos, and “chicken” “tender” baskets. Compostable containers, though.
