I remember the balloon drop and I remember watching Bill play with the balloons. It was really amusing.
I saw security stop someone trying to take one of the big balloons out of the facility. He argued with security but lost. I am not sure how he would have gotten that balloon on the bus back to the hotels.

Texas sat behind the Mass. Delegation and so I got to meet Sen. Warren and Barney Frank. I also got to hear Cong. John Lewis tell his story about preaching to chickens (I have heard him tell this story a half dozen times).
