2. how big (or small) is this event?

town halls are usually pretty intimate, right?

3. You are probably right but here`s a quote from the article..

"Campaign officials said they had about 2,000 tickets to give away. The campaign event will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday at War Memorial Auditorium on High Point Road."

7. I wondered why he chose that particular venue, but like you say

it's a townhall meeting. I'm convinced that had he chosen a rally instead, he could have overflowed the Coliseum. There are lots of universities in the Triad (High Point, Winston-Salem, Greensboro) area. Hopefully, he'll be back.

4. Good to hear he had a vacation. He sure as hell deserves it.

6. I saw this story on the Fox8 news yesterday, and the people in line

were totally amped. They kept saying "this is historic", and I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, I learned the tickets were gone before I even learned about the event, which makes me really sad. But my boss got tickets for he & his partner, so I'm happy for them.
