The Pepsi Center is located only a little over a mile away from the center of downtown Denver, but for credentialed delegates and media, getting inside the facility is a process that takes about one hour.
The Democratic National Convention Committee and the city of Denver arranged for shuttles to the Pepsi Center from prime spots downtown, like major hotels. Unfortunately the traffic jams caused by the convention makes the shuttles move at a snails pace. Maybe that’s why the articulated shuttle bus we jumped on was nearly totally empty apart from a handful of other convention attendees and equal numbers of orange-shirted transportation organizers. Or maybe it was just because the shuttle stop was actually pretty hard to find.

Ducks 4, Red Wings 3 - Everybody thought hockey in Orange County was like a snowball in hell: Funny to say, totally unrealistic, and full of cliche (remember those "Mighty" days?).

Anaheim will host the Ottawa Senators in game one of the NHL Finals on Monday.

See that ridiculous excuse for a bedroom pictured above? The unmade bed, the stacks of books, the unorganized electronic devices and extension cords that are just BEGGING to be tripped over? The obsolete XBOX? The mismatched furniture? The cheap plastic bedside chest of drawers that I’ve had since my dorm years? Hey, you wanna live there? No, seriously, it’s great. I swear.
