I remember the 92 convention very well. I was a waitress at the Pappasitos (Tex Mex restaurant) across from the Astrodome. It was the summer after my senior year. The restaurant was absolutely packed all week long. I was 18 and perky and cute. We worried about how handsy the delegates would get, but they were no more lecherous than was typical for the day. I would decline invitations to go party with the attendees, but they still tipped excessively. That week damn near paid for my 4 years in college. Got to see Ted Koppel get just shitfaced after rounds of Tequila shots. Good times.

Thanks. Interesting background. I hope this DNC adds to your lore in some way. Keep it coming!
