DNC Celebritypalooza Part Deux!

But first, here's Skinner being randomly interviewed by someone from the Convention organization team about the delicious local beer he is enjoying (for free):



Then on the way to the Time Warner Arena we bumped into NORML:



Skinner rejoined the HRC:



And here's Roland Martin again, apparently he likes to hang around on this particular corner:



Back at the Arena, we ran into...

James Clyburn:



Dick Durbin:



Carl Levin:



Newman! (Actor Wayne Knight):



Tony Shaloub:



Beau Bridges:



And finally we headed back up to the "unassigned media" area to post. This is how far up in the rafters they've got us:



Oh, and I had to make a very important phone call:



More pics coming soon!

All of our DNC pics are in the DU DNC Journal.
