Wow, last time i saw that many folks in red was during gay pride week at Disney World. I was down in Tampa in ‘97 for the NANOG 10 convention and a bunch of us decided to drive up to Orlando and hit the park. So many folks in red, we didn’t know what was going on, though it didn’t take too long to figure it out. The guy in glittering ruby red thigh boots and a princess hat kinda gave it away.
My daughter(14) and I attended the rally and it was awesome. I took home 4 yard signs to display. I had them in the ground for 4 hours before some vandals destroyed them. The Obama/Biden signs are doing just fine across the street though. I fixed them and put them back up, we’ll see how long they last this time.
For those of you there, how was the layout? When Obama had his rally there in Feb, it wasn’t very good IMHO. When you first walked into the main area, his stage was all the way in the front right corner. The far right side (in front of the platform) was gated off for press and special guests, and the rest was for everyone else. I got in somewhat close, but from what i could see the crowd thinned out about 15-20 feet from the far left wall, so it was almost full. Though I’m not really familiar with the venue, so I may be misremembering something.
What, no photos of you?
Wow…that’s a LOT of red.
Hey, It’s Mike Gooding! I miss him. Seriously, he is a good guy.
His level of quality reporting is not really over flowing here in Columbus

Bocephus was there? If he had been in Richmond then I might have gone.
Bocephus did show up in Richmond as well.

FortyFouron - thanks for letting me know Hank was in Richmond. Wish I would have gone. Oh well. Too much work to do anyway.
