The critique is a convention-free zone — but not so word of a rescheduled Public Enemy gig or reviews of the New Orleans All-Star Jam-Balaya (supplemented by bonus Q&As with The Meters’ George Porter Jr. and String Cheese Incident alum Kyle Hollingsworth) or a DNC media party at Elitch Gardens. This last bash co-starred the Flobots, this week’s Westword cover kids.
Many more DNC doings are on display in Demver. Click over to read about a Method Man sighting, plus photo captions that tell much of the DNC story to date, a batch of convention street scenes, and your introduction to the “Protect Yourself From John McCain” condom. One size fits all.
