When we got there, the line stretched around 3 sides of the Civic Auditorium. We probably wouldn't have made it in at all, but an older gentlemen came to us while we were in the back of the line and told us that there was a shorter line somewhere else. We followed him, and sure enough, he was right!
We stood in the overflow area, as the Music Hall was already full by that time. Little did we know that we would actually be the first to hear Sarah speak. After watching the Republican Senators and Congressmen speak via a big screen TV and speakers, Governor Palin stepped in and spoke to us in the overflow area first.
One of the difficulties in being "vertically challenged" is that trying to take pictures when tall people stand in front of you is . . . well . . . challenging! I held my camera over my head, aimed the best I could and took lots of shots. The one above was one of the better shots. I could have cropped and zoomed, but I thought that the raw shot gives you a better idea of what it was like to be there.
It was a great time and fun to hear Sarah speak. Just wish McCain could have been there as well.
I guess I've tipped my hand as to who I'm voting for . . . . . . .
Also - we'll have some updates of the music room soon. The third wall has been painted and is currently being striped.
See ya!

Now I'll bet you wish you would have invited me. I could have taken the pictures for you.
I bet you wish you would have cut in line with me! I was there with Amy Pittman. We were in the same room - but in row two right up front!
Standing up for four hours on cement (including the time in line) was long - but worth it!
Check out my pic of Sarah on Facebook!
