I am still alive everyone. Been a strange week or two. Last week was the DNC here in Boston as everyone knows. I posted about attending a great event and Bunkosquad more eloquently discussed it here and V-Bunny talks about it here. Except for the television coverage, you would not have know it were taking place in Cambridge. However, I did have one cool incident. My friends and I know a bartender who works at Noir in the Charles Hotel. Now, the Clintons and other big names were staying there last week and several people I know spotted them around. We went there on Tuesday night hoping to see someone. I mean, its a sad state of affairs when not only political celebrities but movie and telelvision celebrities are swarming the city and you see nothing. Well, here we are drinking martini’s at this bar and the Clintons and entourage swarm in the place. Awesome. Our first celebrity siting. Bill was not around, but Hilary and Chelsea looked great. There were lots of young people in suits and stuff trying to look suitably impressive as well. I guess it was one of Chelsea’s friend’s birthday because they wheeled in this giant chocolate cake topped with some sort of chocolate sculpture and everyone broke into song. And then Madeleine Albright and two aides swept in as well. Now I admit, I was starstruck. Here was a woman who achieved a level of power and respect few of us can even imagine. So I went and talked to her (I was on my third martini). We chatted. I held her drink as she signed autographs and then she was gone. And that is my big DNC story. I saw no one else. No Affleck. No Cynthia Nixon. But I did get to meet one of the most powerful women around.
