What time should I leave to get a good seat at Change We Need tomorrow?
It's in Greensboro and the doors open at 10, the event starts at 12:15.

I'm about two hours away and I'm blocking out the entire day tomorrow for the event.

I went to one in Charlotte back before the primary and got there two hours before the doors to open and there were already hundreds of people in front of me.

What do you think DU?

1. In Florida at a 10,000 seat stadium, they had people lining up at 5am.

The doors opened at 10:30 and Obama finally spoke at 1:45pm.. I don't know how crazy people are for him there?

5. If I get there at 7, 3 hours before doors open, will I be able to get in?
The answer is yes right?

3. I got to an Obama event at 7:00 am; it started at 2:00
and I was pretty close to the front -- but there were still people in front of me! :D

6. We went to one in New Hamsphire..
and got there two hours early to find incredibly long lines. I felt like I'd walked to another state. I would definitely give it another hour.
