Look out Chicago. Here I come.Thanks to the thoughtful invite of a friend in Chicago, I will be attending the Barack Obama Election Night rally in Chicago. I'm flying up from Nashville with nothing but a toothbrush in my pocket. Oh, and my iPhone. I'll be live-blogging the festivities right here - with pictures and updates of the whole affair. Stay tuned.
Oh, one more funny tidbit. Tickets to the rally are hard to come by. The Obama campaign only gave out a few thousand to the public, and each ticket requires a photo ID matching the bearer's name. So scalping is impossible. But each ticket allows the bearer to bring one guest, and the emerging meat market for this "plus-one" ticket is something to behold... Check out some of the postings on Craigslist, where democracy, capitalism and sleaze find harmonious balance.
Ok, that's it. More tomorrow from Chicago. Now... GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!

I'm getting out of goodman tech at 11 pm, if not earlier. I'll give you a ring! We'll meet up!
It's certainly going to be a historic day - and a historic breakdown of the Chicago Transit Authority.
You go, dude. I took Bailey with me this morning (photos on my facebook and in your email inbox) and it felt so so big. Keep us posted.
