My parents and brother were in town for my Dad's birthday, and one of the things they really wanted to do was to go to the anti-Palin rally held infront of the library on Saturday afternoon. Emily heard about it via an email, but it was also mentioned in the paper. We thought maybe 10 or 100 people might show up. When we showed up there were at least 500 people. The news reported that 1,000 people attended. There were a few pro-Palin fools, but for the most part it was a bunch of fired up Obama-ites. We saw a few of our fellow Obama volunteers, and Emily saw a bunch of people she knew from swimming and work. It was great! Cars would honk as they drove by.
After the rally we went to a sports bar for lunch so that Scott could watch football. The waitress--who had recently moved from New York was really excited to see our Obama stickers. She said that she'd thought that she and her husband were the only people supporting Obama in the whole state.

That was an awsome rally, I loved the original signs, and wish I could have been there. I hope that you got see Saturday Night Live that night, it was so-so-so- funny with Tina Fey as Palin. If you missed it try to see it.
That's great that you guys went there. Em -- did you get a haircut? It's adorable!!
I love those signs! That must've been so much fun!
