Obama rally: don't be late
Friday morning the doors open at 9:30 for the event scheduled to start at 11:45 a.m. Please don't think that you can wander up at noon and flourish your on-line ticket and get in.
It's first come, first in. When the fire marshal says that's it, the doors will not swing open to anyone. The organizers expect most of the audience to be in by 10 a.m., certainly by 11 a.m. There are to be at least three speakers, so expect to be there until 2 or 3 p.m.
This is at the University of Miami's BankUnited Center, once known as the basketball fieldhouse, also as the Convocation Center. It's just off U.S. 1, across from the University Metrorail Station.
If you see an old guy with a big hat in the parking lot giving helpful directions, that might be me.
The event is billed as a Women's Rally for the Change We Need. I'm assured that men also are welcome and do not need to bring lipstick.

Friday morning: Barack Obama at UM, free public rally
Tickets required, sign up at http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/flcoralgables (corrected signup link).
Announced this afternoon from the Obama headquarters for Florida in Tampa (where all the staff is getting tuned up for the last seven weeks), it’s to be a Women’s Rally for the Change We Need.
I believe no lipstick is required, however.
The rally will be at the BankUnited center on the University of Miami Campus, just off US 1 and across from the University Metrorail station.
Doors open at 9:30 a.m., program to start at 11:45 a.m.
No banners and signs, please, they say. No doubt some good stuff will be passed out.
“As we stand at a pivotal moment in our history, Senator Obama is the only candidate who truly understands the hopes and dreams of everyday Floridians,” Steve Schale, Florida campaign director, said. “While John McCain will increase healthcare taxes for millions of Floridians and bring four more years of George Bush’s cynical politics as usual, Barack Obama, as our President, will stand strong for Florida’s middle class families by supporting a National Catastrophic Insurance fund, which would stabilize the insurance market, real tax cuts for 8.7 million Floridians, and by protecting social security from the Bush/McCain privatization plan.”
