5. I'd love to go, too. But I really can't afford it.

I was all excited when I first got the email, until I got to the part about the ticket prices. It's just plain out of my league, financially speaking. :-(

I still haven't gotten caught up from the hit my budget took from going to the state DFL convention in May. (but it was well worth it!) Hopefully, there's enough liberals with better economic circumstances than mine who will show up for this event, it really sounds wonderful!
