Rochester Minnesota Rally!
I just got back from the Rally in Rochester Minnesota. From what I understand, the arena we were in holds 7500 people, but the place was packed! There were people on the floor and on fold out bleachers, so I estimate it at 8000 people!

Garrison Keillor, Carol King and John Kerry spoke and the crowd was STOKED! It was amazing seeing Kerry in person, he is so much more personable in person than on TV.

I was lucky enough to score some VIP passes, so we got on the floor and right in front of the podium. I have to admit, I got some pretty darn good shots for not having a press pass. When I get a chance to download and sort through the pics, I'll upload them and post a link. For now I have to go to bed, I work nights and I'm on 24 hours without sleep.

Go Kerry/Edwards, 6 more days!!!

To be continued...

HERE are a few of the pictures. I'm still sifting through about 150 shots, and will add more as the week progresses.
