| Going to my first speech this campaign year (Dayton, OH) any suggestions? |
|
I'm driving to Dayton from Columbus to see Kerry and Edwards today, it starts at 2:30PM. Does anyone have any tips I should know of or offer how early I should plan being there to have a good spot?

| 1. I'm going to Cleveland this morning |
|
Edited on Wed Jul-07-04 04:48 AM by elcondor
This is my first this year also; so I can't offer specific advice--only what I'm doing today. My Dad and I are taking the Rapid into Cleveland around 7:00; then we're going to have breakfast nearby so we can see when the crowd starts to form. The rest of the people I'm going in with aren't arriving until 8:30am. (We have priority seating tickets--I'm not sure if that makes a difference arrival-time-wise.)
A reminder for Ohioans planning to go to the rallies today: the times have changed! The gates are opening at 9am for Cleveland and 1pm for Dayton.
Hope you have fun today truhavoc!

| 4. Sounds like a good plan! |
|
I am working in Springfield this morning, so hopefully getting there by 12:00 will allow me to get a good enough spot. I wonder if they will sell t-shirts there??

| 7. Rain or shine--the show must go on! |
|
Kerry's website says that "rain or shine" the rally is going to happen today on time--there's no mention of an alternate indoors location. I'm not sure what will happen if severe storms hit.

LaRosa's, with that sugary sauce? Ugh.
Well, to each his own, I suppose. ;)

| 9. Get there EARLY, I mean a couple hours |
|
I showed up to an Edwards event during the primaries and it was jam packed an hour before start time.
Bring something to read, because you'll be waiting a while.
If you're opposed to the Iraq war, wear a prominent anti-Iraq-war t-shirt.
