Wow you got inside by only waiting 2.5 hours in line??
We waited in line about 6 hours in Mesa last year and got pretty close to the podium.
Great day, besides being a few feet away from our great President, we met a whole bunch of really awesome people!!
Weyell....the rally was in the very blue Washington state.
And add to that 2.5 hours another 30 minutes to find the end of the line which snaked around several blocks. And yes, all the people around us in the line were friendly, well dressed, and having fun. The 40-50 protesters looked like zombies in contrast.
