I'm in the journalist work area here at the Bella Center and Mike has just been escorted into the Bid Cities Presentation Hall along with the other pool videographers to get into place. It's 8:05a here in Copenhagen and there is plenty of buzz in the air, as you might imagine.
Chicago 2016 will present in about 45 minutes, then there's a 15 minute Q & A from the IOC members who will vote.
They then must quickly leave the area and then we will be taken to another area for a news conference with Mayor Daley and Pat Ryan. Right now we don't believe the President or Mrs. Obama will be at that one. I did get about maybe 3 hours sleep last night but today will be a LONG work day...and that's NOT a complaint, just info sharing. This work is fun..though I'll be a zombie by the time we get to O'hare tomorrow night.
