In line
So I thought it would be interesting to see Barack Obama, the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, give a speech in Charlotte, NC.
I didn't realize how many other people had that idea, and how slow the lines would move... I arrived in Charlotte at 11.15 am. While I did see Mr. Obama in his car when he arrived, at 1.15 pm when the speech started I was about half way the line to the entrance gate. That was unfortunate, since Charlotte is 2,5 hours away from Durham. At the other hand, I had time for some good phone calls, now I've finally recharged my international calling card.

Re: In line
What I would like to know is if you heard anything Obama said or was it over before you got in?
Re: In line
Well, I heard him, but from outside the perimeter so I didn't see him speaking. When I saw that I was not going to be making it in, I started walking back to the car so I wouldn't have to stay in line forever to get out of the garage.
