I have a couple of questions that I need help with before I take off for Kissimmee, Florida, tomorrow morning to see Sarah Palin, the next Vice President of the United States.
1. I have a very nice Canon digital SLR camera I'd like to take so that I can get some really good pictures. Will I be allowed to take this in to the rally site?
2. The email I received from the McCain campaign says "For security reasons, bags and signs are not allowed inside the venue". However, on TV at all the rallies, there are many people that have homemade signs that they've brought in with them. Anyone know what the real deal is here? Do they only allow posterboard signs that can be rolled up, or can I take in a heavier weight sign?
I'm going to try to get there early enough to get right up front. If God blesses me enough to let me get Sarah's autograph, I'll scan it and post it on this thread. I'll post some pics too.
I think the sign rules are standard operating procedure for the RNC. When Pres. Bush visited my hometown last election, the signs were made by students and teachers. Teachers!
Doh! I knew I should have gone with the D80 instead of the 30D when I made my purchase.
I recently went to a Palin rally, took a old USARMY gas mask bag with camera inside—went through search and admitted. Get there early if you want pix of Sarah, because the crowd crush will likely prevent getting close. Long lens will be tough to use while being jostled by the crowd.
Anybody got a live link?
