Preparing For The Big Night
Posted by The Editors | 02:24 PM
The convention floor will be closed tonight from 11:30 p.m. until tomorrow afternoon for the construction of a "theater-in-the-round" or center stage to be used during Bush's nomination acceptance speech.
"The setting," according to an RNC press release, "is another way the 2004 Republican National Convention will be the most unique in the Republican Party's history."
Not skimming on the details, the RNC notes that on the stage, which will be 20 feet in diameter and "made of steel and wood," the president "will speak from a 'deco' inspired wood grain lectern."
Take that, Boston!

Ooh, it sounds just like the stage in Peter Gabriel's "Growing Up" Tour...

I hope the President walks around in one of those gigantic hamster-balls, like Gabriel did, for at least part of the speech.
