Proud to be a Sun Devil

grads01_lres

And just a record of the thousands, upon thousands of graduates that joined me and while I loved the Daily Show’s investigative reporting piece into ASU I am proud to be a Sun Devil. Why not wear a bikini when it is 100+ degrees outside and sunny 340 days out of the year? And with 60,000+ population you know you get a little bit of everything. Ultra liberal, ultra conservative, international students form around the world, hikers, swimmers, dancers, engineers, artists, and journalists.

That is the beauty of Arizona, those I graduate with, well who knows what positions they might hold in twenty years? ASU attracts some amazing and interesting people and keep in mind that the people on the Daily Show represent only a fraction of the students I walked with yesterday.

Obamacommencamania!

So security was tight, but I managed to sneak my camera in . . . can’t tell you how happy that made me. Not quite close enough to Obama to make my 85mm prime work, but an amazing experience nonetheless. I’m going to do three to four seperate posts, one on hats, one on random grads and commencement itself. Here are some random pre-pre-pre commencement stuff.
