Pet Rock: The Pop Culture Blog

DENVER - Pet Rock scored the sweet deal of covering the Democratic National Convention out here. OK, so I'm really out here to run the politics page of our site (and drum up some quirky videos), but politics is pop culture, especially in this election involving Paris Hilton/Britney Spears videos and text-messaged VP nominees.

The 20 or so folks who told me "Dude, it's one crazy party" (give or take a curse word) were right. Of course, they left out the part about Monday-Thursday being one crazy work day. But on Saturday night, they threw a big media party at Elitch Gardens, a sort-of Six Flags-y kinda place.

Some pretty fun stuff. Have a look at the video me and Photographer friend Tommy whipped up. The next-to-last scene is our favorite. We'll have more fun all week, interspersed with our regular Pet Rock goodies from the rest of our of Pet Rockers that you all know and love.
