Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
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.
And then, in an aside to another cop, he added this: “That’s going to be a real pain in the ass.”
