Rantings of a Sandmonkey » The speech!

Rantings of a Sandmonkey » The speech!
His account, and he was there. It starts with this:
The first thing one has to say is that the security was very ncie and cordial and professional: You had to have an ID and the invite, and they would just let you in. Unfortunately, no one relayed that information to Ayman Nour, who was standing in front of me with an invite, but without an ID, and deamdning to go in, because " I am Ayman fuckin Nour". The secuirty people still had him go to his car to get an ID, which was funny.

I really liked the way everything was organized. I was impressed .. really .. everyone was nice and cooperative. you get to park your car in a designated place and buses would take you to and from the speech venue.
people on the second and third floor didn't have to wait for the VIPs, i loved that :)

I think I saw you ... ;) i was sitting close ..
by the way Amy says Hi
