When he came out to L.A. last summer I discussed it with my brother.
It would have been a 2 hour drive into L.A. probably due to traffic. It was
last minute and I wasn't keen on being surrounded by a ton of people.

I'm realizing I'm not up for that kind of marathon thing anymore - and anyway even if I were interested in the music, Vampire Weekend is probably not my taste... this is:

I really should look up Vampire Weekend on YouTube and get with the program.

P.S.: Local CBS news coverage of this event mentioned that it's geared towards younger voters who are only 15% of the total but also that in Michigan, Hillary was up 30% and lost to Bernie and now she's up less.

P.P.S. I'm not happy being surrounded by people either. I'd have to be by a barricade and even then I'd keep the exit in sight.
