Anti-abortion protesters rallied outside the Pepsi Center yesterday, giving Denver just a taste of what’s going to hit this town next August, when the Democratic National Convention convenes here.
The city got another preview earlier this month, when CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) filled the Colorado Convention Center with over 30,000 consumer-electronic junkies.
“Is this the biggest convention to come to town?” one tourist asked a Denver Police Department officer overseeing the scene.
“Just wait until next year, and the Democratic National Convention,” the cop replied.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
And then, in an aside to another cop, he added this: “That’s going to be a real pain in the ass.” –Patricia Calhoun
