Rocky Mountain News reports, "Protesters at the Democratic National Conventionwere no match for Melody Moezzi, the Iranian-American activist with a preternatural proficiency with the hula hoop. She had been gyrating and keeping the hoop in play for over an hour when the anti-war throng moved past her. But she never missed a beat, keeping in play both the hoop and her one-woman hyping of her 'Hooping for Peace' events at the University of Denver this week. 'If you don't have a hoop, come anyway. I have about 100,' said Moezzi, not even breathing hard, unfazed by heat or marchers. And proving that, in The Park at least, she was a peace proponent who was totally hip." Rocky Mountain News
