  • A jazz group performing for the crowd.  Most folks waited over 5 1/2 hours before Obama began his remarks; it took me 3 1/2 hours to drive there from Takoma Park and I stood 3 rows back from the stage for almost 4 hours before Obama's appearance.  Well worth the wait!

  • I had brought with me--it had just arrived in the mail yesterday--my box of "ObamaO's" cereal:  "Hope in every bowl."  It was a hit with the crowd while we waited.  (You also get "Cap'n McCain's" on the web--I hear it's stale.)

  • The long trek to where I parked my car--capitalism at work.  Home-made CDs for sale!  (And plenty of buttons and tee-shirts.)

  • My Obama-O's--and yes, you see it!  Not only did I brush hands with the man as he passed by after his speech, a staffer thought the Senator would enjoy seeing the cereal box and took it to him for his autograph!
