It is just plain cool to think I could walk the streets of DC and spot the new First Lady. Michelle and Jill Biden met Washington, DC Mayor Adrian Fenty and his wife Michelle for lunch at Georgia Brown's on 15th Street NW. The Obamas are bringing excitement and charisma to this town - the most I president bring in my lifetime. If you were around during the Robert F. Kennedy days, does this new

As this day in history comes to an end, I sit at my kitchen table in my Arlington, VA studio apartment gazing at the purple sunset stretching across the DC sky. Purple: a range of color shades between red and blue on the color spectrum. What a symbolic sign to the end of a day the world will never forget. The purple sky can also remind us there is change in the air - the end to a day for the

Sorry for the late post. I have heard from followers that were concerned there was no post yesterday. That makes me so happy because my goal was to be your credible and fun connection to the DNC. Sadly, I am fighting a 101 degree fever. So, this is going to be short and sweet, unlike my day yesterday.My body has never been this sore and I have never been this tired in my whole life. I headed to

Hillary is still my hero. And, after last night, she is now more than ever before. Last night, she looked like a president; she spoke like a president; and she made an impact like a president. I had the privilege to be on the floor during her moment. I am young and Hillary got me excited about our political system.As I stood in line for my morning chai at Perk's in the Grand Hyatt, I heard some

Here are some snippets of conversation snatched from shuttle and train rides. And, I will be honest, some are my own opinions and event re-caps.* Orange is Hillary's color! Why didn't she start wearing it earlier?* Hill's speech was the best speech some of us will hear in a lifetime. There were tears and joy for hours following the speech -- on my shuttle, train, and walk. People couldn't get

Yes, blog followers, you heard it here first. OK, well second. Rudy Giuliani, for some reason or another, decided to show his face here at the DNC. The art exhibit he was visiting was not on the Pepsi Center compound. There is a TON of buzz!

Yesterday was my first official day on the job. I was so tired and sore last night, I came home and went straight to bed. But, I did catch the Michelle speech on TV. Why did I not just watch Michelle LIVE? It all comes down to the credential, or so I learned very quickly.I arrived at the Colorado Convention Center for check-in and credential pick-up at 8:30 am sharp. As they called my name, I

After getting through security and making my way to the Pepsi Center entrance, I was in total disbelief. I had an official credential and was about to be part of history. I proceed into the arena and there it happened – my most inspirational, memorable moment as a public relations professional. The kind of moment that gives you chills. I realized right then and there, this is what I have worked

Looks like I am not the only one thinking next week Denver will experience its first Fashion Week and will join the London, Milan, New York, and Paris family. New York's Amy Odell confirms Spike Lee, Ben Affleck, Ed Norton, Anne Hathaway, Annette Benning among others will be in attendance. I hope to spot and report on all the celebrities there.My sources tell me Michelle Obama plans to wear suits

I am overwhelmed. Today I made a public relations presentation to physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students in Birmingham. The DNC came up in conversation. Everyone I spoke to supported Hillary. I felt so happy and proud of all the work and time I put into her campaign, her image, her fight. And, now we are hearing on CNN that if Hillary were the nominee she would be up on

I simply can't contain myself. As I sit in my Birmingham hotel room anxious for my Denver trip, I find myself getting caught up on my own DNC daily dish through one of my favorite Rocky Mountain News columnists Penny Parker. Not only does she know everything first, but to put it simply she is the On the Town diva. I will be linking to her more and more as we approach Monday.If you have a media

Based on my poll, Biden seems to be the front runner for veep. Hopefully today will be the day when we can put this anticipation to rest. But, Obama seems to be spending a whole lot of time in Virginia. Now I am not so sure about my guess. Even my taxi cab driver agreed with me.So many headlines, so little time! One thing is for sure, yet again, McCain is attracting attention to Obama on issues

The Vice President guessing game is starting to get fun. Strong, positive anticipation is a key ingredient in any successful campaign. And, if you choose, you can be one of the lucky Dems that receive a text message with Obama’s pick before the rest of the world hears the big news. His strategists are amazing. This is the first campaign to ever crack this amount of anticipation via a text message

Important information came my way yesterday. I will be required to wear business to business casual for the end-of-the-month festivities. I have also learned that if I don’t dress up enough, I could be denied access into important venues and hip parties. So, now I have to ask, what does business to business causal mean anyway?The talk on the street is that working the PIC attracts fiesta invites.
