Speeches, speeches, and more speeches.
The only thing that may outnumber the speeches could be the number of journalists covering the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
15,000 of them, according to the GOP convention web site.
So, a little party planning took place yesterday to inform the working press of the technicalities of doing the job.
Lighting, work space, security, vendors, lodging, telecommunications, transportation, parking; just to list a few of the subjects touched upon.
Just a walk through.
But come August, it'll be the real thing.
We'll be ready.

Grant Jefferies, a native of Palmetto and chief photographer at the Bradenton Herald, has been capturing moments in the lives of Manatee County residents for over 25 years. Images from the streets of Cuba and Haiti to the clay fields of the Little League World Series and beyond have been captured through the lenses of Jefferies' cameras. Jefferies can be found on his sailboat when his feet are not on land.
Tiffany Tompkins-Condie is in her 13th year as a photojournalist at the Bradenton Herald. Through the years she has covered crimes and carnivals; feasts and floods. Her postings will vary from events in Manatee County's back yard to the work of photojournalists covering the stories of our times from around the world. 
Paul Videla has been a staff photographer with the Bradenton Herald since 2002, when he made the move from Detroit, Mich. When he's not working,
he enjoys hunting for unique LPs at the area's plethora of thrift stores and continually works to improve his baking chops(as the records spin and his dog waits for handouts).
