If you don't have a ticket by now, you won't get in to Sen. Barack Obama's Espanola event Thursday.

The campaign says they have handed out all the tickets they have. And they are advising rally goers to arrive early. Doors open at 10:30; the event starts at 12:30. The problem will be parking. It is first-come, first-serve and there are no shuttled planned to off site locations.

My advice, after visiting the site today: get there early, wear a large hat and drink lots of water. There wasn't a whole lot of shade on the plaza, and the wait outside is likely to be long. . .
