We had a great day yesterday, getting here and then taking in some politics and the never-ending chance to network & mingle.
Jeff Strater -- one of 4 SD16 delegates -- is "moving" today from the Stonewall Dems national convention location (the Renaissance Denver, today & forward the delegation hotel for Massachusetts and Maryland) to the Red Lion Southeast Denver, home of the delegations from Texas and American Samoa. Jeff's partner Felix is flying in today noon-ish from Dallas, and I think once they're both here (probably as I type this), we're going to plan to find a pharmacy or grocery store to pick up a few things.
At a buffet breakfast in the hotel this morning we saw a number of Texas folks, of course -- including a jovial table with State Sen. Rodney Ellis and Rep. Garnet Coleman. Also chatted with Amy from Denton and others. Old friend, former state representative & perennial politico (& Texas' first & only openly gay statewide office-holder) Glen Maxey arrived this morning. As always, fun & informative to chat with Glen, a force of sorts in Texas politics...should be yet another interesting convention with Glen in "creative" mode ;-)
Chatted with some other Dallas-area delegates -- Dallas County Schools board member Ann Hubener; her daughter Katy Hubener, past Texas House candidate; Katy's friend Shirley; SD23 delegate Neil Emmons.
More later...
