Some NY friends of ours were able to secure guest passes for the Republican National Convention. They made it to Tuesday and Thursday evening's proceedings. Good choices!
I visited with them on Friday morning and heard all about their experiences. They had a fair amount of loot: large guest IDs with holograms and barcodes for security, programs, placeholders for Sen. Frist and someone in the Bush family, one of the large "4 more years" vertical signs, etc.
It wasn't until 2 a.m. that my friends made it home after Bush's speech. When they got on the subway train with the big "4 more years" sign, they sat right next to a protester laden with anti-Bush stuff. What fun...
My friends said Max Lucado led one of the prayers one evening. Another man they couldn't remember prayed a prayer full of Scripture. They appreciated the testimony these men had, unlike Edward Cardinal Egan, who read a formal prayer one night
