North Carolina, get ready to Feel the Bern!
If you're planning to go see Bernie Sanders speak tomorrow evening in Greensboro, and would like to meet up with other Kossaks, leave a comment!
Here's what we know so far -
Bernie is scheduled to start speaking at 7 pm.
Doors are scheduled to open at 6 pm. The event is free.
Parking is $5 and can be a bear, so give yourself enough time to take a 15-20 minute walk. (Plus maybe time for standing in line - who knows! There could be an incredible thirst to hear Bernie's message in these parts.)
Once you get to the Greensboro Coliseum Complex, (Directions) you want to go to the Special Events Center [pdf map] (which has expandable space)
I am going to make a small poster that will say NC Kossaks on one side and will have a Go Bernie! message on the other. If you want to bring a similar poster, that would help us find each other.
One other Kossak has mentioned to me that he will be there (forgore - I will text you! we are going to pay the $5 to park, after all, so will see you at the event) and I'm going to bring my boyfriend and my daughter and maybe one or two others (they don't dkos, but they're still good dems).
Will people be coming from Asheville (2.5 hour drive)? Charlotte (1.5 hour drive)? Winston-Salem (.5 hour drive)? Durham or Chapel Hill (1 hour drive)? Raleigh (1.25 hour drive)? Wilmington (3 hour drive)?
Not that I'm partial to Greensboro or anything but Bernie's people were smart to put his rally here - look how we're kind of in the middle of the state - not too far a drive from anywhere! :)
Hope to see you there!
