1. Hopefully I will be there

I think I got a spot but have not received my confirmation e-mail. This apparently happened to a lot of people. Hopefully I got in...the website said I did.

3. DId the tickets "sell out" immediately, do you know?

I'm hoping you got through. Somebody from the DNC was posting some info on it on KOS. I'll see if I can find it and bring back the link or a snippet of it.

If you don't get in, there will be a presence outside, I think. Even that would be cool!

Edit: From the thread at Daily KOS:

Way at the bottom here, but wanted to check-in. I'm Josh, Internet Director at the DNC.

I just wrote this up on our blog, but I'll cross-post here just to get the information out. Also apologies for not being able to read every comment here...I'm trying to be as quick as possible.

First, yes, it did go online. For about a minute. There was a lot if demand and were sorry if you didn't get a spot...they were gone pretty quickly. We'll make sure to have a feed available here on Democrats.org on Saturday so you can see it.

Second, if you did start to register and didn't get a confirmation email, there are two possible scenarios that may affect you.

1. You started the process but didn't complete it before the space was filled. If that's the case, unfortunately someone got the last spot just before you did. The difference between getting a spot and not was a matter of seconds.

2. You finished, you're on the list, and just didn't get an email. There was a lot of pressure on our system, and while we believe that everyone got an email that should have, let us know using this form and we'll take a look and let you know one way or another.

Also, for those of you who registered but don't see the event RSVP in your PartyBuilder account -- you're still on the list. We simply removed the event from the system to completely lock down registration.

If you have any other issues or questions, let us know through the form and we'll get them answered. We're sorry we don't have enough room for everyone who wanted to be there, but we'll make sure you can see the meeting if you want to. We also want to make sure that the people who signed up first get in.

6. Are you sure they are NOT simulcasting it? Which means 6:30 AM?

I'm just flat out today with errands.

Perhaps somebody can clarify...

Does C-SPAN repeat their shows?

Thanks, AK.

5. Thanks so much, Brooklynite. It's all happening on my 69th Birthday!

Born May 31, 1939.

I will have to get up REALLY early if it is simulcast (6:30 AM Pacific Time).

We're taking the grandkids to a preview of "Kung Fu Panda," with Jack Black, at 10 AM. Then back to my daughter's house for a birthday lunch (she doesn't have cable...)

No worries.

Thank you for recommending it.

Cordially,

Radio Lady

The white dove symbolizes peace -- and I am hoping to soon find it in the DU, the White House, and the world.

9. UPDATE: Tickets to this event were sold out in only minutes when posted on the Internet.

If any of you do get there for the event, it would be great for you to post something after it's over.

Blessed be,

Radio Lady in Oregon
