I'll let you all know how it goes. Maybe Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) will do a cover of Pearl Jam's "Barack Around the Clock" at the rally....lol. Or not.

    Right on. Enjoy yourself. And if Bright Eyes doesn't show up, maybe 311 will and play a little Omaha Stylee.

    I imagine it will be quite a spectacle. Bright Eyes is playing a big rally afterwards that should be pretty cool.

    Was pretty freakin' cool. There was not an empty seat in the spot and truly the most diverse group of people i think i've ever seen (in such large numbers). i'm beginning to think this next week will smack hillary upside the head and perhaps send her campaign into desperation mode.

    I'm excited. I'm going to see him at the Key Arena in Seattle tomorrow. Maybe I'll get a PJ sighting, too. :D

    All politics aside.....Jim James from My Morning Jacket showed up at both the rally...AND the post-rally party/show and blew everyone away. If just one person asks....I'll post some video/pictures. He's like Cat Stevens and Neil Young rolled into one. Absolutely amazing. Bright Eyes was awesome...but Jim stole the show. Oh....and the Obama rally was really inspiring....despite the LOOOOOONNNG wait to hear him speak.

    I had to leave right after Obama spoke, couldn't make it to the post-rally show. It would be totally awesome if you could post what you have. I was one of the people who was waiting there since about 10 am next to the front doors of the auditorium. This was definately one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Thanks,
