Chicago Grant Park Event - Live Photostream
Hello from Chicago! I'm here at Grant Park in wonderful weather with many happy ticket holders for the event tonight!
I will be updating this thread each time I think it warrents a bump.

Ticketholders have already been let through, so if you have a ticket get on down here!

Here is my photostream via a iPhone;

Have a good night whereever you are and god bless!

5. It's crazy good weather here
Low 70s, light breeze. I've lived here all my life and cannot remember a November day so amazingly perfect.

Auspicious. no?

9. My son graduated Northwestern in '93. He's been there ever since.
He also said that the weather was incredible.
I think it IS a great omen.
I hope everyone has a wonderful time...
Congrats on getting a ticket. It is a historical occasion.
:thumbsup: :hi:

6. I'm sure I'll be way in the back; getting down there after 7.
What app are you using to geotag and upload the photos?

I would've missed the letter in my inbox until it was too late so let me give you a HUGE THANK YOU for the heads-up and helping me secure the hottest ticket in the world right now!

13. You're Welcome!!
I was just fortunate to have thought to change my BarackObama.Com e-mail address to my work address or I would have missed that invite too. Glad I could help. :)
