Forgive my quick entry but I want to get these photos up.  I promise to update this post sometime soon and my full run-down of Obama's speech and my experience at the final night of the DNC.  It was an historic event but we've been super busy and I'd like to do it right.

This post is one in an ongoing series of audio postcards intended to document the characters we might consider minor in the larger picture of these conventions, but who I still find extremely interesting.

We were coming back from rushing around to get an interview with Bob Filner when we bumped into a t-shirt salesman and I thought I'd ask how his week was going.  We weren't able to stick around very long, but he seemed to be having a good time just hanging out talking to people and selling shirts.  Click play above to hear the quick chat.

This was our first live, UStreamed interview with a local delegate, and we very much had to set up the stream on the fly, running on batteries and using my computer's built-in camera. I was a little frazzled heading into it because of that, and I also hadn't yet met Dave, so I wasn't as familiar with his background as some other young delegates.

That said, I enjoyed the chat and was impressed with Dave's knowledge and on-the-spot speaking ability.  I'll let the video speak for itself, but your feedback is welcome and we can continue the conversation in the comments section below.

I've been tweeting more and more as our production processes have smoothed out, so feel free to interact with us there as well -- and in that respect please consider yourself in Denver with us!

Note: We had some last-second technical difficulties and went without a tripod for this one.  All forthcoming videos will be steadier.

KPBS Web Developer and Producer Joe Spurr and I were sitting at our table on Radio Row at the DNC last night, working on our separate projects when a very dapper Dennis Kucinich walked past.

I was deeply engrossed in some writing, but Joe challenged me to interview the former contender for the Democratic nomination.  His campaign in the Democratic primary had failed, but apparently his spirit wasn't diminished. He looked triumphant, almost as though this convention would come to its senses and give him the nomination.  His very attractive wife was busily smoothing his hair and straightening his tie and collar.

I couldn't resist Joe's challenge so we grabbed an audio kit and a microphone, walked half the length of our table and there I was conducting this extremely impromptu interview.  He responded enthusiastically and gave us a clear and thoughtful discussion of his views on the economy and foreign policy.  I wonder if he'll run again.

Wow!  There goes Senator Biden -- maybe another unplanned interview is waiting.
