I headed down to Washington DC for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Fear and/or Sanity, had an amazing time and met some new friends. the 23 hours of bus time was worth it!

Tens of thousands, or perhaps more, flocked to Washington today to witness the highly-anticipated “Rally To Restore Sanity.” Many brought signs, some wore costumes, and thanks to sunny weather and an atmosphere filled with energy, most probably had a good time.

 

The Ed Sullivan Theater has been home to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert since 2015. The two-level theater was built as Hammerstein's Theatre, in conjunction with a 13-story Gothic-style office tower, in 1927. Designed by Herbert J. Krapp with over 1,500 seats, it has since been downsized to 370. It was operated by Arthur Hammerstein until 1931, used by CBS radio broadcasts starting in 1936, and then converted to a tv studio in 1950. Under the Studio 50 name, it housed The Ed Sullivan Show from 1953 to 1971, as well as other shows such as The Merv Griffin Show, The Garry Moore Show and The Jackie Gleason Show. Renamed after Ed Sullivan in 1967, it was used as a broadcast facility in the 1980s and converted to stage CBS's the Late Show franchise in 1993, first under David Letterman and then under Colbert.

Democratic National Convention 2008 in Denver. I have no idea how to sum up how amazing these two random days in Denver were. I flew in via LA (thx Julian!), figured I'd crash with Danny for a day or two to check out the Obama-themed street-arty party in Danny's gallery space ("Manifest Hope" gallery) and then maybe try to scam my way into Obama's keynote? The gallery was unbelievable, which turned into a block party Wed night with Cold War Kids + Clap Your Hands + Silversun Pickups + Z-Trip which turned into an acoustic show with the aforementioned plus Johnny Deathcab / Postal Service and the girl from Small Wonder (??) all emceed by Sarah Silverman... which eventually turned into a No Data style dance party (hence the 1000 upskirt shots). I was up till 5am, slept two hours, biked over to the DNC (hobo bike!) to volunteer and ended up working the security line for 11 hours (!!) to earn my way in to see Obama's speech. Just an amazing amazing weekend.

If she only knew there was some dork ass standing behind her she would have had an even more evil look on her face.

Knew that the crowd would have Stephen Colbert riding the moose while waving the Canadian flag at the end of the show, so I positioned myself to get a clear view. Then they moved the moose to the front of the stage. Looking forward to see everyone else's pictures of that iconic moment.

 

Colbert was inches away from me signing autographs, but this is the better capture.

 

To get around the IOC's draconian licensing rules, The Colbert Report called its Vancouver 2010 Olympic shows: "Exclusive Vancouverage of the 2010/Quadrennial Cold Weather Athletic Competition/Defeat the World! " It's very similar to what LuluLemon called its non-authorized clothing line: "Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 & 2011 Edition"

MSNBC seems pretty certain that the Democrats are taking control.

...or am I just reading too much into that little graphic in the corner?
