I was honored to be selected as a NH Delegate to the Democratic Nation Convention 

What a week!  I spent the majority of every day taking in the sights and sounds of the Convention.  It all started on Saturday night and continued through Thursday evening - with Tuesday through Thursday being anchored with the official convention events.  New Hampshire had some of the best seats in the house, hands down.  It was a great vantage point to see all of the speakers and performances - and we got lots of face-time on TV and the jumbo-tron!

I had the opportunity to participate in A House United, a project conducted by Sears/Craftsman, and Rebuilding Together, to build half of a house at the Republican Convention and half of the house at the Democratic Convention.  The house will be 'united' and donated to a veteran in North Carolina.  I also got to meet Ty Pennington in the process.

During the day I went to either Caucus meetings or to outside events like forums conducted by Politico or The National Journal/The Atlantic.  I saw an interview of Madeleine Albright by Bloomberg - then ran into her on the street and shared a brief conversation with her.  I got to wave to a friend from the background while Chris Matthews was taping.  I saw numerous political celebrities on the street. 

Overall, it was a great experience.  Charlotte did a great job of welcoming us to their city - despite the rain.  I went to several museums for events and thoroughly enjoyed the regional cuisine.  It was a great way to kick off the final leg of the 2012 election!
