Just got back! I didn't even know Ann was coming to USF until I saw this thread earlier today. I called my old drummer (also a huge Ann fan,) and asked if he knew she was coming. He said he knew but wasn't sure he'd be going. I told him I was so he said sounds good to me. Traffic was the usual terrible on the drive over from Clearwater but we got there only about 3 minutes late. Not too bad

The parking lot was packed. There was a good sized crowd. We went inside and had to sit up in the higher bleachers. I noticed right away that there was a group of students all wearing red shirts sitting in the middle floor seats. I'd figure there were about 100 of them. About half way through the speech portion, they all got up and held up their hands in "peace" signs. Then they all marched out, quite orderly actually. Ann was speaking about how homos try to equate homo-rights with the black civil rights movement at the time they chose to stage their walk out. Ann made the comment that as soon as she mentioned blacks they decided to walk out. That brought howls from the audience. Needless to say, people wasted no time filling in the empty seats to get a better view of Ann.

Ann gave a fantastic speech covering the Iraq war, homo-rights, and the activist supreme court/abortion. She was her usual self cerebral, succinct, acerbic and great to look at. There were a few more outbursts by a few individuals but overall it was pretty tame. After the speech Ann took questions for quite a while. Actually, she went too long and wasn't able to do the meet-n-greet that was scheduled. I was disappointed because I brought my copy of Godless and hoped to get a chance for an autograph and a word with Ann. Anyway, during the Q&A there was a smattering of buttheaded liberal skulls full o' mush that tried their best to preach to Ann. She handily put them in their places. I was hoping to bring back some photos but they didn't allow me to bring my camera in. Boo-hoo.

Overall, it was great and well worth the trip.
  Love that Ann!
