YES WE CAN!

OMG you guys, OMG. I'm going to see Barack Obama at a rally! I've been dying to do so and I've been so jealous of everyone that has gotten to go but now...my chance has come! By a stroke of divine luck, there is a rally at Widener University in Chester, PA tomorrow at 10 am and I'm only 4 and a half hours away which I can totally drive to. And I have no classes tomorrow so it's PERFECT. So after my class tonight, I'm going to drive down to Chester and await my presidential candiate and OMG it's so amazing. It's just that this is history and I want to be a part of it and support him and hear him speak before the election. To be around so many people who love Obama after being surrounded at home by those who oppose him will just be pure heaven.

I will have to delay getting my hard drive for a week or two but Obama is well worth it. Gas, food, whatever but a Barack rally is priceless. God, I can barely believe it. I seriously am shaking right now and I feel like I'm going to cry because this is historic and beautiful and amazing and wow this is actually happening.

Obama: making hopes and dreams happen for me!

I will! Oooh I can't wait. Just being in his presence will be magnificent.

I'm so excited for you! That's a great opportunity.

Eeee me too! I'm so lucky to get this chance so late in the game :)

Awesome. I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience!

I'm still kicking myself for not going to the TWO appearances he's made in my area this year (once in the primaries at the university I work at, and a month or so ago in a nearby city).

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I know I will REALLY regret it if I don't and that's usually a sign I should do it. He's this close by and I doubt he'll be any closer at a time I can make it so I'm doing it!

Do you have tickets? I know that a lot of places require you to have tickets. :-/

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope it's free to the public! I just hope I get there in time for a decent spot.

[identity profile] countessmary.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they're generally free but they still require a ticket to go in. Usually the local office for Obama gives them away but you have to wait in line to get them. I would call the local office and see what their policy is.

This one didn't require a ticket thankfully. Lots of people showed up, it was great!

[identity profile] countessmary.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Woo hoo!

[identity profile] fadsy.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! I want to see him. What a shitty time to live in California.

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah that's at least one plus about living here, being close to battleground states. Hopefully someday you will!

I'm so jealous! That's sure to be an amazing experience. :D

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It was! Seeing him was incredible, definitely a great moment for me.

[identity profile] seanmegansean.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds great. I hope it's just as exciting as you want it to be! :D

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It was! Crappy weather but the seeing him part was wonderful :)

[identity profile] iamcrazyodo.livejournal.com 2008-10-28 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Fantastic! I'm so happy for you! You'll be part of History! You so have to tell us all about it. *keeps fingers crossed that Americans will see the light this time and kick that right bunch of arses out of the White House*

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! So, so cool. I wil :) And I think this time we just might do it!

[identity profile] indybaggins.livejournal.com 2008-10-28 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG! Wish I could be there with you :)

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Wish you could have too! Maybe someday you'll see him as well, you never know.

Awesome about the rally!
Have a great inspiring time.
