1. I wanted to go, but when I realized the doors opened at 4:00 p/m, but the rally

didn't start until 7:00, I knew I couldn't handle it--and that I couldn't spare the time. If I'd had someone to go with, I might have tried to do it, but I couldn't go that early (to get good parking--handicapped parking--and to get a good position inside) and then just stay in one place for hours.

2. I understand but your spirit was there as was mine. We must fight on, fight the oligarchy. nm

3. That Actually Happened To Me In Chicago Last Week.....

The doors of the Bernie rally opened around 5:30pm and Bernie didn't start talking until 8pm. I was in line at 4:30pm thinking the rally would start at 6pm. Fortunately - I had a great time talking to all the Bernie supporters around me and trading stories. It was great people watching as well. The evening actually flew by and I wish it would have lasted longer. It was great to connect with other Bernie supporters and feel the electricity in the arena. It was a great evening and one I'll never forget.

4. I use a cane and have some other health problems that would make sitting or standing for hours

truly difficult.

Also, I needed to grade papers, but attendees were told not to bring bags, so I wouldn't have been able to have my work with me, even if I could find a place to sit so I could work.

5. I had a similar problem last week when he was in KC

I am still recovering, a week later. The line was long and he started an hour after the planned time. I can't be on my feet that long for the line and then even more inside with no seating whatsoever. It was real hard but I managed to get through it. I sat on the floor for a while too, which is painful. I had a blast though - it was so much fun and the excitement helped by giving me a boost. I don't think I'll do it again unless it's a venue with seating and I can find a way to sit through the line.

7. I don't know but we got there around 2 and I would guess that there were close to 1000 people in

line ahead of us. They started letting people enter at 4 and when Bernie started his speech around 7 he said that there were a couple of thousand folks still outside.
