"An Evening of Hope with Sarah Palin," an event featuring the former Alaska Governor, was supposed to be a minor blockbuster in Jacksonville, Florida, next week, but not everything has gone as planned.

Slow ticket sales have forced event organizers to move the function from the 2,936-seat Moran Theatre to the significantly smaller 609-seat Terry Theatre.

"We would rather have a packed theater than a theater that's not so packed," Mark Nelson, coordinator of the event and director of Heroic Media, the faith-based, anti-abortion non-profit that provides advice to women facing unexpected pregnancies, told the Florida Times Union.

"We didn't have much time to promote the event and we are new to the Florida market," Kimberly Speirs, a Heroic Media spokeswoman explained to CNN.

7. It's the TeaBaggers fault, the contract for the signs

had some rather difficult terms:

1. It was requested that arrows on all signs point the way to the ticket office,
No one was surprised that the arrows all pointed in the same direction, to the right.
Teabaggers could not place them correctly; watching the circling parade of cars was comical!

2. The words "<- Welcome To Our Platform Speech" came out to read: "We Came To Play For Peech ->"

3. Those that found their way to the ticket office quickly fled, as the ladies under the hair
dryers at busy beauty salon next door looked like muslims.

Trust me, there are many naive, ignorant, bigoted or illiterate souls in Florida.
