Angelo and Edz at the 2024 Democratic National Convention
Edz and I attended the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. This was my second turn as a delegate from the Northern Mariana Islands. I was also a pledged Clinton delegate in 20 16. Edz was not a delegate, but came along for the ride. As a second time delegate, I had a much better set of expectations heading to Chicago. The DNC is a chaotic, overwhelming, exhausting experience where you get very little sleep. Our first stop in Chicago after dropping our bags at the hotel was Wrigley Field, where we caught a game between the Cubs and the Blue Jays. I had read that the Daily Show was going to be at the stadium. I thought that meant they were going to have cameras doing interviews for the show, but they were doing meet and greets with the correspondents. We went to Wrigleyville two hours before the first pitch and met Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta. There was a delegate party later that night, but only Laila Staffler and I went. We couldn't get Edz a ticket,
