Had a really wonderful time watching the DNC tonight at our beautiful old downtown theater.  I won 5 tickets to go see Barack Obama later this weekend.

Came home and found my beloved cat dead, suddenly.  We had no prior warning that he wasn't doing well.  Came in to find cat poop near the front door, which Cupcake discovered.  She was talking ( Read more... )

Oh no! I'm really sorry about Beo! He seemed the same as usual on Wednesday night...I wonder what happened? He wasn't very old for a cat.

Are the tickets related to the same thing you e-mailed me about regarding going out Monday instead of Sunday? (I'd thought you'd sent the e-mail before the DNC thing last night.)

No clue. I guess we'll probably never know.

I'm sorry to hear about Beo, though I've never met him.

Yes, they're for the same event. One of the local Obama team called me up yesterday and offered me VIP tickets. (Otherwise it's general admisssion). I said we'd take two. Then at the DNC event they were having a contest. If you made phone calls to lists they provided, whoever made the most connections would get 5 free tickets. So for the first hour or so, partly while I was waiting for my family to get there and while things weren't really interesting yet, I made calls. And they gave 5 tickets to the top 5 callers, of which I was one. So I gave one ticket to my congregant who was also making calls, one to mom, one to sister, and two for us. But we probably can still get those two tickets that Ryan-the-Obama guy said he'd hold for us. Do you wanna go, if so?

I would go to hear him in person. Are the tickets in different sections, though?

No, the tickets are all general admission, it seems. The tickets I think just mean we don't have to stand in line or something. Not sure, and won't be until we get there.

Okay, I'll see what I can do about getting another ticket.
