I just got a cheap camcorder to take to Tampa

I found a cheap camcorder that I plan to use to record all events during the RNC in Tampa.

I recommend others plan to bring recording devices, whether it is a cheap camcorder or their phone.

If anyone finds good deals on recording devices, please share below.

Stealth recording at Tampa

There are video recorders that fit in glasses, ink pens, and who knows how many other ordinary things. There is also at least one video recorder (limited capacity) for KIDS who want to play spy, and it may be possible to hook it to greater data storage.

Things to record

I attended the 2008 R Convention as an alternate. I wish I had recorded two things which you might consider. As I approached the cite each day, I was stunned to see the number of storm troopers in full riot gear on each corner. The closer you got to the cite, the more you'd see. Groups of approximately 20. Also, I wish I had recorded the area (cage) where they "allowed" the protestors.
