Al Gore was seated directly behind me (Section 101, Row 35) in the Skybox at Invesco Field at Mile-High Stadium in Denver, Colorado on August 28th, the night that Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for President.
Also visible inside the skybox at various times were Oprah Winfrey, Kanye West and other notable celebrities. In town during the four-day event were Jennifer Lopez, Sean Penn, Cindy Lauper, Ben Affleck and Jennnifer Garner, Steven Spielberg (who I did get a side shot of), Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Charlize Theron and her boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, and a cast of literally thousands (delegates, press, volunteers, etc.).
I got to the stadium at 2 p.m. to get a good seat, and it was good enough that the main press officer for the German Embassy was seated directly in front of me and Mo Rocca was within a few yards of my placement.
