1. Cool!

Can you just drop in, or do you have to have reservations? Is it possible to get in to hear Dean?

2. You know....I don't know.

Maybe you could post at the DNC blog and ask. Looks like a new open thread there. It might be by registration, not sure. I hear they have a good group signed up...

3. And on the way to San Jose he stopped in Oakland at a union hall.

Just to emphasize again how they are using immigrants as a wedge.

This should be an interesting conference.
