Obama! I saw him!
Feb. 15th, 2008 11:03 pmBarack the vote! Obama-rama! whatever! Yay! First: I had an amazing spot. Second row center.
Best part? I shook his hand!!!
haha yes! The closest I've ever been to anyone important. Julia told him he was amazing and he looked her right in the eye and thanked her then leaned over her to shake my hand. He also has really soft hands. I'm jealous that he's keeping his hands moisturized in the awful dry weather.
More pictures (18 total) are here at my facebook. They aren't the greatest, but hey. It's Barack Obama.
Funny thing, it seemed that a lot of the security people were watching me..or the area I was in. I made direct eye contact with a few. I think it was because of the annoying girl next to me who wouldn't stand still and kept talking (even during the speech) and luckily she didn't get her hand shook. ha...she was annoying. She then hung out in the coffee place we went to after where Julia was working until 10:00 then we left at 10:30.
Overall, not a bad day. Even though I stood outside in the extreme cold for 45 minutes waiting to get inside.
OH, and Obama ate at one of my favorite local restaurants: Kroll's East. It's amazing. And a Rhapsody tradition! Yum! It's classic old school diner food. Famous for their chili and butter burgers. And well malts and shakes. Well that's all I eat there.
