Obama to hold Election Night rally in Chicago

Outdoor location is not being disclosed, but an announcement is likely this week, Democrat's campaign says

 

Tribune staff report

October 21, 2008

 

Sen. Barack Obama will appear at a major Election Night rally in Chicago, but the site remained undisclosed Monday, about two weeks before the event.

 

The Obama campaign has said the event will take place outdoors, but the campaign and city officials have not confirmed the location. Grant Park appears to be a leading contender, but the Chicago Park District said Monday that it had not yet received a permit application. A campaign spokesman said an announcement was likely later this week.

 

While attendees could face chilly weather Nov. 4, it would almost certainly be no colder than the frigid February 2007 day when Obama announced his presidential bid on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield

A friend of mine has had a block of hotel rooms in DC booked for inauguration week for nearly a year now. I'd really like to go anyway, but I've told her if Wilco will be playing, I'm in for sure. :badger

My guess.....Wilco will play to half or so million people...(all the non-Obama fans can stay home and listen to Radiohead....and feel depressed while the rest of us party our brains out wherever we are...)

Is it possible to like both Wilco and Radiohead? Just wondering.

Sure.....which is exactly why I am suggesting that on the night Wilco's choice for president wins...you may not want to listen to them if you didn't support him.....(its a joke!!!! well sort of...)

What do we listen to if Obama loses?

 

Maybe a three-hour Wilco set if counting goes deep into the night!

 

I am not sure if I would go; only if I could be somewhere sort of protected. Not a fan of big crowd scenes. Plus I am still on "Wilco probation" :lol

I am sure it will all be webcasted..some of us can huddle around a computer attached to a big screen TV.

I get election day off, so if anyone wants to start early....

 

LouieB

I'm taking Election Day off. "Personal business". No way in hell will I be able to concentrate on work - I'm sure I'll be (even more than usual) batshit that day.

 

Wilco, or GD? Decisions, decisions...

Hm. I like Radiohead. And for most people Wilco isn't really party music either.

 

Why do you sign your forum screenname after each post? If I wanted to see who posted the message I just read I could easily look in the appropriate spot, right? And that Justin guy does this too. This sort of bothers me.

You should really be taking the day after Election Day off.

 

Now that I mention it, I think I'll do that myself. :stunned

Radiohead is cry in your synth music for the losers....Wilco is party music from Obama's home town band for the winners.

 

Bugged or not, I will continue to sign my name at the bottom.....I started with my first post here many moons ago and don't intend to stop......(considering you only have 22 posts, ....one is to complain about this???)

Wow.

 

Be sure to give us regular updates on that whole "getting the world to behave exactly the way I want them to" thing.
