Take a camera. You won't be sitting with the press, that area is press only. You will be lined up against the walls if it's indoors. At the end of his speech he always shakes hands with folks. You can try to get to him then. You will be sitting around for a couple more hours after the president leaves and the press files their reports.
Big word of warning.... when you are waiting around for the press pool buses to leave.. DO NOT EAT THE PRESS FOOD. They always have food catered in their filing rooms. Nothing they hate more than the volunteers eating their food. It's not for you, it's for them.
The press will also be tired and not talk to you. They are not a chummy bunch. Don't be offended if they completely ignore you.
I advise you pack a camera and black magic marker in your purse. The Advance Office always forgets to bring their markers and pens to make the signs for the buses. Trust me, bring a black marker and you will be a hero.
Have a great day, wear comfortable shoes because you will be standing for hours, and please report back tomorrow night. We would love to hear about your adventure.
Can't wait for your report and possible pictures tomorrow night...
Well, whatever he did, I'm glad it got nuked.
I'm running a fever this morning so I'll be a bit subdued.
Will spend the time praying.
I wish I could send you two our rain, today makes day 15. Another thick gray blanket covers my part of The Sunshine State.
So exciting dr.j'sfirst! Can't wait for your report, have fun!
A new thread in just a bit...
At a Fourth of July at Waksal's Hamptons spread three years ago, Martha Stewart arrived with an entourage that included three of her Chow dogs — none on a leash.
Stewart worked her way through the party to the yard, where one of the black-tongued beasts jumped up on a little boy and sunk its teeth into his thigh. The child happened to be Waksal's nephew Jesse.
Guests, who included MTV's Serena Altschul, Planet Hollywood founder Keith Barish and entertainment lawyer Allen Grubman, saw Jesse writhing on the grass as Waksal leaned over him. Stewart stood by with her arms folded over her chest. Guests exchanged looks, and one quipped about a possible injury lawsuit against Stewart: "Perhaps soon she'll have to change the name of her magazine to Martha and Jesse Living."
After the party, we called Waksal about the incident and he told us: "The dog just jumped up on Jesse and frightened him. He never bit him. The dog was overaffectionate."
Perhaps Waksal didn't realize that we were at the party, standing right across from the child as we watched the bleeding from two holes as big as vampire bites. And we watched Grubman — in pure Hamptons style — run up and ask, "Is it the Lexus or the Mercedes that has the first-aid kit?!" before helpfully bolting to the road, chockablock with SUVs, to find one.
