I'm starting to freak out, a little bit, about it. The school campus will beclosed, for that week. My bestfriend is due around the same time. 1 bedroom apartments are starting to be gobbled up for the convention. I'm starting to see more NO PARKING and other weird traffic things.

Anyone else?!

I work at University of CO Hospital and there have been tons of disaster drills.

I live downtown basically, and it's weird seeing military choppers buzzing the balcony and landing on rooftops. Creepy, even.
