I wonder what it will be like on Tuesday in Burlington.

[RoccoR5955]

I am thinking of taking the day off on Tuesday to go. It's a four hour drive, and if I get a room for one night, it is quite reasonable. I wonder if anyone would have any idea of what it will be like crowd wise.
Four hours' drive in Darwin, the Prius is barely anything fuel wise, so that is barely a consideration.
A friend said that I should do it, because if I didn't, I would regret it. I am wondering myself.
The folks at work already know how I stand politically, and I already have a Bernie 2016 self-made bumper sticker in my cubical.
As a matter of fact a few folks, even one staunch conservative want "official" bumper stickers. If I go to Burlington, I could pick them up for people.
Just looking for some feedback.

1. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and if I wasn't in Florida I would join you. GO!!!!!n/t

[TheNutcracker]

2. Ditto! Go! For once, someone who makes us *want* to vote!!!

Any type of doable drive, I would go too!

[daleanime]

3. If you can do it.....

do it!



And take a few photos for those of us who can't.

[RoccoR5955]

6. I take photos wherever I go.

It is a given for me. I always carry around my little point and shoot. I have learned that you will miss a great shot if you don't have a camera on you.

[daleanime]

7. Sweet!

Then we're looking forward to them.

[merrily]

4. I think you should go, but, more than that, I think you should do what YOU want.

[Jackpine Radical]

5. Go for it. Absolutely.

Be a part of it from the ground floor. I'd do it in a minute if I had the chance.

8. I'd say go for it, a once in a lifetime event that should be a blast. There's a good GUIDE

about the event from Burlington Free Press circulating- beware crowds expected to be large and parking is apparently a big issue for the Waterfront Park area.

Be careful on the road, and can you bring back some of those new 'revolution' T-Shirts campaign staffers are unpacking now? Just kidding. Good luck and have fun if you make it.
That's such a beautiful area, I was in Putney a couple years ago and have visited VT and the NH border area.

I had the chance to meet Bernie last month at an event in DC when he led an anti-TPP rally in front of the US Trade Representatives Offices there. It was a Populism 2015 conference that I found out about late, but finished all my work, registered, posted about it on DU and was excited.

But the night before my boyfriend threw his back out badly from work and was immobilized for a week so I couldn't go. Not his fault but I missed a good conference and Bernie, oh well. Here's coverage of the rally and great photo of Bernie with 1,000 anti-TPP folks on the last day of the conference, April 20.

9. I have been there.

One definite stop for me is the Magic Hat brewery in South Burlington, and 3 Needs right in town.

[appalachiablue]

10. Excellent, so you're in good shape. Let us know how it is if you can. We'll be watching

Ed Schultz' coverage from the opening on MSNBC's 'The Ed Show", 5PM ET, Tuesday evening.

[BrotherIvan]

11. That sounds like a great day

I would be at the ice cream line for sure. But I bet there will be a lot of happy people there.

[SoapBox]

12. I would be very interested to hear from a real, live attendee...

Especially from normal people vs. the limp media.

If you don't get there for merchandise, there is stuff popping up on CafePress.com like crazy.

[hootinholler]

13. WHY is this even a question?

Go or you will regret it.

Just do it.

[jtuck004]

14. You still here? Go. n/t

[Thespian2]

15. Free Ice Cream?

gotta' go...or be sorry for years...

Long way from Prince Edward Island...Love to see Bernie in person...

[LiberalElite]

16. Go.

You'll be sorry if you didn't. It's one of those Once-in-a-lifetime events!

[RoccoR5955]

17. Decision is made. I am going!

I shall take pics. no video though.
Like some of you have said, this is a once in a lifetime thing, and if I don't go I will regret it later.
Thanks for all your feedback!

[sabrina 1]

20. Great! I was going to tell you to go, but no need. Looking forward to a first hand account

when you get a chance. Meantime I'll be watching the Ed Show and maybe CSpan will cover it during the day.

I'm definitely going to try to get to Vt for any rallies he may have, or maybe NH.

Have a great time!

[Paka]

18. Go, for sure.

It's too far for me to go from Thailand, but if I were anywhere close enough, I wouldn't hesitate. ENJOY!!

[joshcryer]

19. Electrifying. Do it.
