No fair

Tonight, they finally released the details about the Obama election-night rally here in Chicago. They've been talking about it for a few weeks, but only in the vaguest terms, with no official details.

On the 5 p.m. news, there was a story about an e-mail being sent to all the Illinois Obama supporters, which would get them on the ticket list. By the time I called Josh to see if he got the e-mail and he looked on his phone for the message and he got home to click through, we were waitlisted for the tickets.

I don't know why I assumed we would be able to just snap our fingers and get tickets -- there have to be more than a million Obama peeps registered in Illinois alone and they were only giving out 70,000 tickets.

The lack of tickets totally bums me out. I really want to go to this rally. I really want to be there to see Obama speak. I really want to be surrounded by tens of thousands of people who are just as excited about where this country is going as I am. I really just want to go.
