October 22, 2010 President Obama rallying in front of Doheny Library
I woke up before the sun so that I could get a good spot in line with Tiffany, Alex, Aly, and Katie. We all arrived by ~6:30, and there was already a modest line growing. Aly got there earliest, and there were about 30-40 people in front of her. And some 70-100 behind. The whole ordeal was kind of crazy. We got several different colored tickets. In the end, we were able to get to our colored section. We were basically in the front. Unfortunately, just a little out of handshaking reach. At some points though, my view was great and I didn't have to struggle to see above tall people. We had some different speakers - Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, Antonio Villaraigosa. Actor Jaime Foxx also gave a speech, as did the actor Kal Penn who went to work at the White House for a while. Oh! And the band Ozomatli was there, but no one cared because they just wanted to see Obama. Ozomatli is good though.
