What Happened After Hillary's Speech? Awesomeness Ensued

I'm just going to say it: Nancy Pelosi is hipper than me. List of concerts I've been to in my lifetime? Amy Grant, MC Hammer, and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Nancy Pelosi on the other hand, hangs with Wyclef Jean.

Last night was an embarrassment of Democratic musical riches (if that's a thing.) After the business at the Pepsi Center concluded with Hillary's bang, Liberty and I saw Wyclef Jean perform (he played his guitar with his teeth or tongue, I couldn't tell but either way, uh wow) and got to meet Nancy Pelosi .

Then if that wasn't enough (and as the early bird around here I kept saying, "there's a 12 o'clock at night, too? What?!"), we played "What Would Nancy Do" and headed to the Grammys Rock the Vote after party. And they did - rock that is. To see what happened, read more.

In a church converted into a nightclub (I doubt there will be a repeat of this venue at the RNC, but stay tuned) we saw Everclear, and I discovered a passion for this Daughtry, who was awesome live - and who at one point asked the crowd if they were planning to vote in November. I think the crowd did a collective check of their "Delegate" ID-tags, and gave him the "duh." The pomp and presentation on the convention floor might still be the star of the show for my convention, but Wyclef, Everclear, and Daughtry could just be my new Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Wow. Following Hillary's speech and a night of events (full story coming soon, but let's just say Wyclef Jean, Everclear, and Chris Daughtry are pretty amazing live!) today will have to work hard to top it, but it's going to sure try:

Liberty is checking out a panel with Ariana Huffington.
The much anticipated, albeit probably brief roll call vote of the states is tonight.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is hosting an event called UnConventional '08.
At the podium tonight, a real line-up: Bill Clinton, Harry Reid, Bill Richardson, Evan Bayh, and Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Kanye West is headlining at the ONE event to stop global poverty.

We'll keep you posted as the day goes on, with the full story of last night is coming very soon!
