My daughter emailed 2 pics, but hers were not as clear, and she was looking down onto the stage from somewhere quite (steeply) high up. You could only see the first 2 rows of people, (just the top of their heads- lol)... as well as the people on the stage -and- Bernie, of course!

She said that she really enjoyed it though, which makes me very happy.

So cool that you got to meet other DUers! And thanks for the pics.

She had attended the July 29th Union Sq organizing event, so maybe that is why?

I'm on the phone with her now... brb

Today's fundraiser wasn't on there. Maybe they don't include fundraisers in the events list??

I'm so disappointed I missed him. He was a little over a block away from me!!

They actually do not send a lot of mails...which is great...they don't bury you with nonsense.

When there are events in your area (done by zip code) they usually send out an email.

Ticketed the Bern Machine?

Oh for gawds sakes...wonder if we should take up a collection to help him pay for it?

Hey! Paul Sasso has put a couple of short vids on his Twitter page...he didn't mention the ticket...yet.
