Live from Cologne - Cleveland ready to become host city

The group here representing Cleveland 2014 is pretty impressive. Top folks from city government, tourism, business organizations, potential sponsors, all taking in the activities and trying to get a glimpse of behind the scenes. Speaking from experience, it's a lot to take in and you really can't get a flavor of all the hard work Cologne is putting in from just the appearance of a well-run Gay Games. But the Cleveland folks, to their credit, don't look like deer in headlights. That make-it-work attitude will help them a lot in the next four years.
