I was afraid the virtual convention wouldn’t have a lot of excitement. As wrong.

Whoever is responsible, and did the work, deserve a lot of credit.

It was a risk that bad weather would cancel the fireworks, I suppose. But it worked out very impressively. I'm enjoying imagining the Repuke planners working the phones to line up a last minute firework display for next week...

But yes, overall a nice job by the planners. Some of the hand-offs between segments/speakers which would normally have been filled by crowd applause were a little on the awkward side with the delayed Zoom applauders, but even those weren't too glaring by the end, and our side has better entertainers to fill in some of those gaps.

This reclaimed their patriotic holiday for them.

Plenty of American flags on display too.
