So, who's going to be in Chicago tonight?

[prolesunited]

Blue-Jay and I are. We're catching the train as soon as he gets off work. It's going to be freaking AWESOME!

:bounce:

Did you see the ones we took from the rally in Highland?

We're not taking my Dad this time (an event like tonight would be way too much for him), so there's no way we'll get as close, but talk about having a front row seat for history.

3. Have fun

and be careful.

[PeaceNikki]

4. Yes!! I did see them!

:bounce:

We were 3rd row at Labor Day rally here in Milwaukee. :D

My dad got the terrorist fist jab!

[prolesunited]

6. Very cool!

My dad has so many mobility issues, I didn't try to get up to the front. Jason got close enough to get an "air" fist jab.

5. I'll be here.

Chicago is my adopted home and I'll be joining the festivities in the park tonight!

[prolesunited]

7. Ticket or not?

What time are you heading over there?

[ComtesseDeSpair]

10. I have a golden ticket

I'll be heading down around 6 p.m. Wish I could get there earlier but I have to work.

[prolesunited]

12. Very cool!

I'm sure we'll run into you. ;-)

[ZombieNixon]

8. I'm here right now.

I was considering going to hang out downtown, but I've got a bad head cold and don't feel like going anywhere. x( On the bright side, I ended up taking the day off work today because of it and I can stay home and surf DU and watch election coverage. :)

[prolesunited]

9. You're in the park now?

Are their people there yet. We can't leave until Blue-Jay gets off work, but will be on the 4:45 train.

[ZombieNixon]

14. Oh, no, just in the city.

I haven't gone downtown today, but my roommate said it was insanity down there.

[dysfunctional press]

11. i had considered it...but decided not to...

i like watching the national returns coming in, and doing so within a few steps of a clean bathroom, a well-stocked frig, and my bong.

we live beyond the last stop on the milwaukee road northwest line, so i'd be looking at an almost two-hour ride each way- IF there's even a train i could catch to come home when it's over.

and then there's the crowds...ICK! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many people for my current comfort zone.

have fun. good luck. :hi:

[prolesunited]

13. We're meeting another DUer there

Party of the century.

[live love laugh]

15. Here!

[marmar]

16. My friend has finally gotten out of the vanity mirror so we can finally head over the El station....

We're off for Grant Park......Party like it's Jan. 20, 2009, DU!
