Bernie is coming to Denver

on Saturday and one can sign up for it.

I checked it today: The gym has 2600 seats and
over 2700 people have signed up already.

Makes me happy, but a bit worried about
people who might not get in.

If 2700 are signed up at least 3,500 are going to show up. I hope they have speakers to set up outside.

Bernie has to find another venue! At the rate he's going, might as well hold it somewhere a bit bigger - maybe something with 7-8k capacity?

Gonna need a bigger venue!

I'm hoping to see Staples Center or the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, filled!

to hear what they are planning. The lady told me that they are aware
of the problem, but did not know whether they will change the location.
If they do, those that have signed up will be notified, (via e-mail
I suppose). That is all I can tell you.

In the future they should plan for larger accommodations, imo,
because people feel the Bern!

The counter has either been removed or it imploded.

I loved (obviously) watching it skyrocket.
