I go back to my room to straighten up and hope to hear from the organizers that I have a seat on the main floor.  Remember, the event has been moved from the outdoor stadium back into the arena, due to weather.  They are scrambling to get seats for the important people they had promised seats to, all the while, they have 50,000 fewer seats of which to promise.

I have no info so I text one more time and the reply is “if you haven’t received a notice by now, there is no change in the seating”.  so… with that in mind, i decide to head on over. Mind you, it’s 2:30pm and the evening doesn’t start until 4:30pm.   My wonderful Hope is holding a spot for me, just in case.  I’m not too confident but I’m eternally hopeful.  I told Hope to hold that seat just in case!! And I head over all by myself.

Me, outside the convention. Hopeful that the person at the door doesn’t pay attention to the writing, just the color of the credential and lets me in.

I walk into the convention center.  Go the the tunnel to the floor, show may badge and… I’M IN!!!!!!!!! I don’t pass go, I don’t collect $200, I just make a bee line to my seat from the night before and I think Hope is as excited as I am that I’m there.  Needless to say, i was staying put for the night, so they couldn’t change their minds.  I get to be on the main floor for this night of great speeches and the acceptance speeches of Joe Biden and President Barrack Obama.
