Any events planned in Tempe/Phx for debate day, Oct. 13?

[demzilla]

I see Michael Moore will be in town that day. Does anyone know if there will be a Kerry rally after the debate, or how to get to be one of those people with the signs standing behind the MSNBC and CNN sets? In other words, is anything going on that the general public can participate in?

1. Arizona Debate

I heard that they are showing the debate live at Wells Fargo Arena, which I imagine would be open to the public.

I also would expect there to be a Kerry rally somewhere after, but I haven't heard where.

www.turnazblue.com is a good site if you're not familiar with it.

Are you in Arizona?

More of these signs on the 13th sounds good to me. Take pictures and share them afterwards.

4. Can't read the AZ sign... what's it say?

Where was it?

3. SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH...

There will be a HUGE rally at Tempe Town Lake, more than that cannot be said.

I'm so there, though.

5. IT'S OFFICIAL: Our next President will appear at Tempe Town Lake

after the debate! Foo Fighters will be there, too!

The crowd is expected to reach 20,000 (there were 10,000 in Flagstaff, so this will be a cinch!) so get your tickets NOW.

6. Thank you, blondeatlast!

:yourock:

I just signed up for tickets. My kids are so excited (so am I :D). I did some canvassing on Saturday and will spread the word to the other volunteers.

7. Do you know what the seating arrangements will be?

My elderly father wants to attend, but he can't stand the entire time, and will probably not be enthusiastic about sitting on the ground for that length of time either. I've never attended an event like this so I don't know what to expect. ;-)

9. I remember in Flag they had bleachers

available, but the lines were unbelievable--be forewarned. We waited in line almost three hours just to get into Heriatage Square.

I think if you could make it pre-debate it might be doable.

You might try calling Dem HQ.

Much as I would love to be there, I think I'll have to pass on it. IT'S KILLING ME, THOUGH! I'm hoping it will be televised locally though.

10. Thanks for the info.

I have a call in to the Dem HQ. We are planning on going for the pre-debate and staying til the end.

11. this is going to be amazing

i am going to be there, showing up around 4pm because i'm taking the bus and because i want to make sure i get a mildly decent spot. i'm excited for arizona to get this opporunity and i think we should all be so lucky to see kerry in one of his last big rallies before the election!
