Greetings From Pepsi Center

Right now I’m sitting down in the bowels of Pepsi Center in a gymnasium that has been converted into a press filing center. Apologies for the silence today — internet access has not been nearly as easy to come across as I thought it would be. Earlier I was taking in the spectacle from my mile-high seat here in the mile-high city, but alas there is no free wifi in the main hall in the Periodical Press Gallery where I’m seated (though there’s apparently a press filing station somewhere that I plan to jump on tomorrow). The internet gods seem to be smiling on me now, so I’m going to make digital hay while the sun shines. Or something. Stay tuned.

Free news is good news!

Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
