So the question really becomes, do we try to organize the largest Bernie rally in the history of Bernie's campaign, maybe even the US Presidency?
I decided it would be fun to email the people who run the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and ask the rate and availability for the 3rd, it's available to rent
Since I am an expat in Europe, I'd like some ideas on who to approach to help make this a reality. I'm thinking very much a "if you build it" field of dreams type of event. We do the ground work and convince Bernie to show up.
I gave $250 to the campaign today, but I'm sure willing to drop $500 into a gofundme to help make this happen.
Thoughts, ideas?

Shown a viable plan to pack the place, I'd add a C-Note to the GoFundMe page.

Do this? It sounds like a fantastic idea but maybe they already have something going then.
