the place holds 9000 people, but they've handed out 15,000 tickets. The "feels like" temperature index says it'll get up to 98 degrees today, with only a 15% chance of thunderstorms. Dedicated people have been there under umbrellas since sunrise. it's still an hour drive from me, probably 2 hours with the insane traffic they're expecting. People are raffling off the free tickets. Crazy. I'll be at the gym then a beach run, no way I'm going to that side of town. They're diverting school and interstate traffic. No protesters yet.
Reminds me of when Palin came in 2008. Fever was even higher for her.
