YIPPEE! I got 2 extra Tickets for the Obama-Biden Rally on Tuesday.

I had to stand in line from 11am to 2:30 pm....Only ONE ticket per person.....This is important information which was not identified with the Rally Announcement. ( see information with link below)

I was standing alone in line this chilly fall day; frustrated that my coworkers would not be able to attend the Rally as they could not get off work today to stand in line; I'm off today, so logically I had volunteered to pick up the tickets .....made sense to us at the time. Totally unaware of the ticket rules....nothing identifed by the Obama Campaign announcement.

Then, about 1 pm, a old acquaintance accompanied by his friend walked by..we started to chat. He then shares he was not able to attend the Rally....but offered to stand in line to get a ticket for my coworker. His friend offered to do the same.....What a fine friend...a great gift. Now I can attend the Rally with my friends.

Drove up to the Rally venue on my way home to scope out parking. Looks like we will need to park a few blocks away on a side street and walk up to the location in the Park. Yea..we will leave around 10:30 am...or have someone drop us off. Triangle Park is about 8 miles from were we live.

I went to a Biden rally yesterday and the venue was way too small, many people were left out. Our ticket said it didn't guarantee entry. Also, we had to go through heavy security which slows down everything.
