I've managed to meet some pretty incredible people. The Day began with a huge kick off breakfast at the Crown Plaza, St. Paul with guests such as our own Texas Party Chair Tina Benkaiser and Vice Chair Robbin Armstrong, as well as Attorney General Greg Abbott, Senator John Cornyn, and First Lady Laura Bush.
The day continued with excellent meetings with fellow delegates and various news interviews.
Then the real excitement happened when I walked to the Excel Center for the kick off of the convention. I walked through the notorious protesters with ease as they took one look at this Texan and left him alone--must have been the cowboy hate, broad shoulders, and the fact I might have been packing.

The Convention Kickoff was great in itself as I got to meet many a famous person, including Chris Farley's brother who is staring in the upcoming American Carol, and Miss Minnisota with Miss Teen USA.
The evening wound down with the knowledge that our convention will be back on track after Gustav turned out to be not much of a storm ;)
Stay tuned for more from the convention!
