1. I hope to!
Although I know it will be crowded and lines will be long. Does anyone know where any parking will be located? I assume the high school stadium has a parking lot, and isn't it near AB Tech? Any Ashevillians (is that a word?) have any hints about a "back way" into the place? :-)

2. I'm hoping they'll have shuttles
The parking situation (I'm guessing) will be pretty bad.

4. I've heard that parking is at AB Tech
I haven't heard of shuttles but hope that there are some. There are many supporters coming over from Macon Co. We don't often have opportunities like this here in WNC. Thanks for all the help you have been MadAnne.

5. My mom and I are going
We are driving over from Kingsport. We got to see Joe Biden in Virginia two weeks ago. We have to go out of state because no reasonable dem would waste their time coming to this redneck part of the woods.

7. If you get there at noon, you're not going to be close at all.
Trust me . Last Saturday, the gates opened at 10am for the rally started at 12:15pm. 20,000 - 30,000 people.

If you want to see him at all, get there early. Extra early. Trust me.

8. 10:30 is as early as I can drag the people with me.
I would go at 9, but would be alone. We saw him in Columbia, hopefully 10:30 will get us in.

9. We're heading out now,
10am. I drove by the high school this morning at 8am, the line had already started,

I hope we get in. They are expecting 15,000 the stadium holds up to 10,000.
