Anyone else planning to go see Howard Dean in June?

[CornField]

I really want to go, but I have no clue how much tickets are going to be. It's good to see the party holding more functions over in this part of the state too.

3. I asked while cleaning Hwy 61 Saturday

We missed some people:)
The chair of the Muscatine Co Democrats said he expects it to be around 50$ as a ballpark. I said not the 125$ the JJ dinner in Des Moines always is.

4. Cleaning Highway 61?

Cool, as I am going to be on that road heading to Fort Madison on May 14. No, I'm not going down to visit friends at the state pen. Blues Fest in town. Sounds like a good one. Anyway, it's doubtful that I'll be able to make the Dean event. But one never knows.
