Is it just me or are the bags this year fabulous? And so are the festive floral centerpieces made by hand (over 400) by an origami-expert band of generous volunteers.
As people arrived from across the country and around the world, as fascinated media lovingly, yes lovingly, descended, and caucuses of every race, sexual orientation and U.S. geographical areas met, the main questions I answered at the braced-for-1500 registration desk (okay, so I lie--I am severely directionally challenged) related to sussing out the Convention Center and other orienting and orienteering, attendees not realizing that these bright-eyed core organizers around me had been up all night stuffing and collating said faaaabulously fashionable totes.
No sleep till after the Presidential Leadership Forum!!
