Okay, I admit it.  I spent more time watching the tv than taking pictures.

 We munched on hot dogs and apple pie at both Fort Bend Democrats headquarters while watching Obama make the greatest convention speech in history.
You can find more pictures here of the early crowd.  Sorry I didn’t take many once everyone got there.  I’ll try harder next time! Blockwalking starts tomorrow and our Kickoff event is on Sunday Afternoon.  It’s a great time to be a Democrat!

Kathy Solanti’s second day report —-

We got the following report from Fort Bend Democrats member and national delegate, Kathy Soltani —

Dear Friends,
I don’t think I would do the way I felt yesterday any justice if I were to put it into words. So, I just suffice by saying I had the time of my life. And the best is yet to come!

It is unbelievable how organized and well planned everything is. The speakers are great and there is not even one boring second here. Every time you look around you see a famous reporter or politician go by. The highlight of the evening for me with no doubt was Ted Kennedy. The speech, his powerful presence; and in a way I could feel his two brothers standing next to him. What a moment in history and I was there to take all in LIVE!

We’ve got the pictures —-

Click right here to see other pictures from the Grand Opening. We’ll be adding more this week and if you have any, please send them to us and we’ll post them here, too.

It was a very successful night with great speeches from Leslie Taylor, Richard Morrison, Albert Hollan, Chris Bell, and a stem-winder from Congressman Al Green.

A special thanks to Skip and Judy Belt for their generous donations to make all this possible, and to National Delegate Kathy Soltani and Obama Fort Bend for the decorations and hospitality.
