If you were planning to travel to Denver for Barack Obama's historic, open-to-the-public acceptance speech at this year's Democratic National Convention, you might be out of luck.
According to the AP, "in less than 24 hours, some 60,000 Coloradans requested tickets to Barack Obama's acceptance speech — more than the number available to state residents, campaign officials said Thursday."
If you live in Colorado, you can get on the waiting list. If you live outside the state, you can request your access credentials here.
Either way, good luck finding a hotel reservation at this point. Not even Oprah seems able to find a room (excuse me ... presidential suite). She reportedly plunked down $50,000 to rent a house in Denver during the convention.
But if you are going, let us know. And if you want to meet up with our News & Notes team on the ground, drop us a line.
