I got my tickets the day before... I put the call Nov 5th...



The Day Started very Early... It was 6:20 AM

Metro Was a BEAST

There were SO MANY PEOPLE

Those are great!

22. I never want to walk through the 3rd street tunnel again!

Many Blue ticket-holders never got in, by the way. A couple thousand Purple ticket holders were never allowed in; the gate never opened.

I was back in Silver, a lot further away.

My wife was Purple, and was excluded from it all.

[Ioo]

23. :( - I was there at 6:22 AM - Sorry she did not get in

[kwassa]

24. People who were at the Purple gate at 6:00 am did not get in.

It will be interesting to see why, and who screwed up.

Good pics, by the way. You must have a big telephoto.

[Ioo]

27. That is nuts! I am sorry

No on the Telephoto... I have a little Kodak M200 or something like that... 10 MPx

No, I think that all and all, I felt really close.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

[firedupdem]

30. Great Pics!!! You did a great job! What does it feel like to say

you were actually there?

[Ioo]

32. The Whole Crowd was electric...There are NO WORDS to describe it.

I mean it, It was not real... everyone was just asking people where they were from and a lot of random hugs... when someone would start crying, they would get hugs...

[Catchawave]

31. Very nice ! Thanks for sharing :)

You certainly had a great position to watch.

:kick: and :R: :patriot:
