I can still remember the first two presidential rallies that I attended before the 2004 Presidential Elections. I went up to the University of Maine (at Orono) campus on a chilly October day to hear Senator John Edwards speak about his ideas for the country and for change within the American public and society in general. It was somewhat windy that day, but despite that, I attended while clothed in multiple layers of clothing.
Then a few months later in December, I attended another rally with Elizabeth Edwards at the Sea Dog Restaurant on the waterfront in Bangor. For that one, we actually had to get tickets, which were free, but required to get in through the doors and to the conference room where the gala was being held. That was during finals week at the end of the fall semester then, and I went from University College of Bangor on the city bus to get downtown between two finals to attend.
Today will be my third presidential candidate rally, and I'm within walking distance of this one, as it is being held at the Bangor Auditorium, only three short blocks from my apartment on Sidney Street. The great thing is that I can get there by walking a mere ten minutes, so I have no excuse not to attend. I am so excited about going! I have been watching the newsfeed link on facebook.com about it, so I already know of quite a few people that I know who are planning on attending, and some are even QUAKERS! WOW! I'll have more to post after the rally! It starts at 2:30pm, and I don't know how long it's supposed to last, so I probably won't have a chance to post anything until tonight.
