After leaving the Minnesota Convention Center we took a bus to Tom Reid's Hockey Bar. Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox thru a party for all of the Michigan Delegation with special guest Gordie Howe.
We were fortunate enough to arrive early and Gordie was not very busy. He was signing autographs and smiling for pictures. I was amazed to learn that he is now 80 years old. (he certainly does not look that old). I was also impressed that he spent the better part of 4 hours signing autographs! He seemed to revel in the attention.
As you can imagine...there was a lot of talk about Hurricane Gustav cancelling most of Monday's events. We were all hoping that we would not have a repeat of Katrina. As I post this...it looks like the damage won't be too bad.
I am sure everyone is disappointed we will not get to see the President and the VP tonight. I am also disappointed I won't get to see "the governator" who was also scheduled to speak.
I also have the TV on as I am writing this and they are breaking the story about Sarah Palin's daughter being pregnant. I am sure that will make for a hot topic today.
More to follow...
Most of the Michigan delegation showed up including Michigan GOP Chair Saul Anuzis and Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land. As you can see from the pictures...it was a good time had by all!
