On Sunday Night a little Mexican Restaurant on Colfax called Mezcal closed down to host a private celebrity event with lots of fun celebs.
Also on Sunday night another little Mexican cantina in the Cherry Creek North area called Tambien closed down for a private celebrity function. People spotted there were Anne Hathaway and Ellen Burstyn.
My mother was volunteering on Sunday in the Cherry Creek North area at the J.W. Marriot and actually got a smile and wave from none other then Dave Matthews. She also has had numerous cool encounters with lots of Senators.
Last night the celebs came out for The Rolling Stone Party in Denver. People like Bill Maher, Daryl Hannah and NYC Gossip Columnist Cindy Adams. Cindy was quoted as saying "The people in Denver are so nice, they almost remind me of the opposite of New Yorkers."
Last night at the Convention I am sure you saw people like Spike Lee and Cindy Lauper in the audience. My girlfriend Suzanne's mother in law actually sat right next to Jimmy Carter and said he was really nice.
Tonight in Denver there is a Grammy's party at The Church Nightclub as well as a celebrity poker tournament at Coors Field hosted by Ben Affleck. But most importantly we will all be watching Hill endorse O (FINGERS CROSSED IT GOES WELL!!!).
Next some scary stuff to report-
If you watched the video I posted on Sunday you can imagine protests are in full swing in this city and the security is unreal. Colorado outsourced to over 50 additional agencies to provide security in Denver this week, and it shows!!! Helicopters are constantly circling above and Police are pretty much on every corner.
Last night we hopped on the scooter and went down to Civic Center Park (the protesters park of choice). On the streets next to the park the sight of hundreds of "riot ready" police lined the streets refusing to allow anyone to cross the street. At one point tear gas was released and two hotels were actually locked down. It was a bit overwhelming and scary.
Our good friend, Jeremy has been camped out in the park for the last couple of days filming an Iranian Photo Exhibit that has been set up in the park. The Exhibit is beautiful and I recommend everyone go check it out at night before Friday. Jeremy did tell us some very scary news though. Apparently Sunday night in the park the SWAT team was flipping over every trash can and crawling in flower beds in the park. When Jeremy inquired why they were digging through flower beds one of the men told him they uncovered a lot of guns all over downtown. The guns were tapped to bottoms of trash cans and other things around Denver. SCARY!!!!
There also was additional scary news of three white supremacists being arrested last night on suspicion of wanting to harm Obama. One of the men jumped 6 stories to try to escape Police and the other was arrested with bulletproof vests, shotguns and walkie-talkies. The did say that there is also reason to believe there is a fourth man that has yet to be apprehended.
So that is latest on the DNC from me!!!
