Live from Invesco Field. The sun is almost ready to set over the west side of the stadium, and it’s not a moment too soon.

I’ve been here since about 3 p.m., may 2-1/2 hours. There are water stations set up all around the stadium.

Right now, the theme song, “yes we can” is blaring over the stadium, people are on their feet. The stadium is filling, there’s clapping and cheering with the words, “we want change”.

The states are arrayed around the floor of the stadium. Hawaii is jus behind North Dakota. We’re at the back of this section. To our left is South Carolina, Maryland, and West Virginia. We’re at the far left of the stage, with a mountain of speakers just the other side of my eardrums.

We do have a view of the podium, though. There are still some empty seats in the Hawaii section right now. Mayor Hannemann is the only elected official from Hawaii that I’ve seen this afternoon, although Rep. Abercrombie roused the crowd at breakfast this morning.

Now we’re being asked to take out our phones “and do some work”.
People are being asked to text DNC with messsages of support…text DNC.

Ah, the sun just set behind the stadium. Whew.

Some photos coming soon.

I’m sitting right under the Hawaii sign, in case we appear on the big tube.
