My four year old got us tickets to see Biden today.

Last edited Mon Oct 27, 2014, 10:24 PM - Edit history (1)

He heard me asking my husband to make sure to get him a ticket too. He was so excited so I filmed it on my phone

My hubs contacted the mayor to ask for tickets. He said they were all gone. Then my husband forwarded the video of our son to the mayor who shared it. Twenty minutes later we got VIP tickets.

We are at the event now just waiting for the Mice-President to come out.

Edited to add video clip of my son meeting Biden. Biden saw him and reached out to him and my son pulled away a bit so I had to help him to shake hands. We had been at this event for almost four hours and my son was pretty much done by the time he met the VP.

That's an easy Halloween costume! Put on a sharp suit, find a good pic of Smokin' Joe, print out a large mask of his face, glue it to some sturdy cardboard, trim, cut out the eyes, and wear the mask with a pair of Mickey ears! Ta-daaaa! The MICE President!!! Get a group of friends wearing dark suits, earpieces, sunglasses and mice ears to be the "security detail!"
