without Oprah appearing.

[mmonk]

5. More of the crowd.

[me b zola]

9. H2O Man's thread said 5,700 people!

It speaks volumes that this many would show up to hear the woman who may be the next First Lady. I've never seen anything like this. thumbsup:

[mmonk]

11. Yes.

That was the estimate from the firemarshall.

19. Conspiracy sites will have that last pic up by tonight.

:)

[mmonk]

20. The last one in my more of the crowd post?

[Forkboy]

22. The one with the horns.

There's a bunch of sites who feel that is a signal of more sinister intent. There's pics of Bush, Bill Clinton, even a Jenna Bush pic with them making that. Pretty funny stuff. :)

[mmonk]

24. Oh.

That's making your hand a wolf's head and the fingers sticking up are ears.

[Forkboy]

27. I know, but there's some odd people out there.

30. Guess I should quit going to football games there in the fall with my son (student).

Or chop off my hand.:evilgrin:

[H2O Man]

21. I just showed my daughter.

She is on her computer, doing her daily "Obama research." She loved your photos. She said that you can see the energy in the crowd.

[mmonk]

25. Thanks. (though they're not the clearest in the world)

There was definitely a lot of energy in the building. It reminded me of waiting for the main act of a rock concert. Music was playing, some were dancing and singing while they waited. Two older songs stand out in my mind, "Ain't no stopping us now, were on the move" (sorry don't remember the title) and "Ain't no mountain high enough" (Supremes). I'm glad she enjoyed them.

[Willo]

32. Great pics. Thanks for them...Ain't no stopping us now is the title n/t

[mmonk]

33. Thanks.

I thought so but didn't want to make an error.:thumbsup:
