Tickets were handed out today in Gary and Valparaiso for Obama's Town Hall meeting at Roosevelt High School in Gary. It was crazy! The first person showed up at 845am and by noon we counted somewhere between 300-400 people in line. Both sites ran out of tickets. The atmosphere was a weird mix of politics, tshirt vendors and excitement. It should be a good time tomorrow at Roosevelt HS outside the bad light, cramped quarters and overzealous security (defiantly probably). I'm shooting video and lugging along my Mamiya for some nice old school BW shots if i can swing it. In a perfect world, I can find some scalpers selling some tickets.
