I can't remember all the names right now, I am really tired.

We had great Mexican food, and a great talk.

We need to have a Houston meetup in general.

It was a fun convention.

The last convention here in Houston was eight years ago.

I hope to go the next one in two years, I think it will be in Dalllas.

The one in four years will be wild I am sure.

I'll have to get used to the idea of going to the convention during the day and then sleeping at home in my own bed.

And it broke my heart to be the only (?) one to vote against adopting the platform, but I could not tolerate the new anti-Second Amendment language that has been inserted.

I forgot about the convention this year being in Houston.

The conventions are always fun.

The convention we had here 8 years ago was really a blast.

That was when Kerry was running for President, the place was jumping then.

John Edwards came to speak.
