Obama-rama!

On Friday afternoon, Jeff and I attended the Barack Obama speech and rally at Auditorium Shores. Organized by Texans for Obama and the University Democrats, it was originally scheduled for Gregory Gym on the UT campus. Since Gregory Gym only holds 5,000 people, they quickly changed venues once the registration for the speech began. Good thing they did. 20,000 people showed up on Friday (in the rain) to hear him speak. That was more than the 17,000 who showed up in Springfield, Illinois to hear him announce his candidacy.

Here are some photos from Friday.
