Interesting things that will/may happen on Thursday, August 28, 2008 (8/28/2008 - nice ring to it):

1. Obama's* acceptance speech in Denver (see below)
   
2. U.S. Open Finals in NYC
   
3. pre-season finale/Super Bowl rematch: Patriots v. Giants in NY
   
4. the final game of a Red Sox-Yankees series in Yankee stadium
5. the world's biggest mall will open in Dubai
6. Some other completely random, yet somehow meaningful event somewhere else in the world
   

Let me know if there are any others that pop up... this could be an historic day in many regards. Weird how the universe ties all of these events together
