Live Free or Die...frozen

Today was the simplest event to cover so far this campaign season. I walked from my room on-campus to the bottom floor of the student center. Five minute commute. Nice.

Actress Sophia Bush from One Tree Hill and Adam Rodriguez from CSI: Miami arrived at 5 p.m. in front of a group of about 50 students – all girls except for one or two guys.

They each talked on their own for about ten minutes and then did a Q&A with the crowd. I’m guessing there was some text messaging going on, because the crowd kept growing as the event went on. By the end there was probably a little less than 100 people there.

Not too bad for an event that was only promoted on Facebook.

This is the first event from any campaign on the SMU campus so far this primary season.

On a more personal note, I was the only media person there. The Obama organizers actually thanked me for showing up. Go figure.
