Here's your daily map to the little corner of the Internets we like to call Westword.com.

Demver explained ten reasons Obama may not be the candidate for you. You can also find a report about the $10 million(!) being spent on security and the number of protesters the city expects to show up.

Elsewhere, Backbeat reported that Kanye, N.E.R.D. and Wyclef Jean are planning to play DNC events and brought us up to speed on the new location of Roo Bar. In between, they delivered live reviews of Gravy Train!!!! and Low, plus a report on the weekly top sellers at Twist & Shout. Cat's Pajamas Look of the Day went to the radiant Liz and we took a stroll through Silver Jeans new concept store. Now I feel underdressed. -- Cory Casciato
