First, we saw Hillary Clinton on Thursday night at Pier 30 in Seattle. The streets were packed with cars and people and we found a parking spot about 1/2 mile away from the venue. We finally arrived at 7:20 for an 8:00 rally start time and were situated about halfway between the back doors and the stage. It was cold outside and hot inside. Rock music, no doubt, specifically picked, blared until Clinton was introduced.
At one point before Clinton arrived the fire alarms went off and we wondered how that would affect things. No matter to some, one person just hung his hat on the fire alarm so that the flashing strobe light on the fire alarm couldn't be seen. For what it's worth, it was a false alarm.
Senator Clinton took the stage about 9:30 in front of a capacity crowd of 5,000 and spoke for about 45 minutes. She sounded pretty froggy when she started but soon lost that. Addy stayed awake for the entire thing and quite enjoyed being around people - many of whom were more than happy to make faces and play peek-a-boo with her. She often clapped along with the crowd but was ready for the speech to be over when it was. She conked on the way home, but was bright eyed the next morning - ready to see two more candidates.
