I won't be attending the Clinton thing on the 29th. Neither will almost everyone else.

The doors opened at 10 AM this morning. And I should be specific: there are only two doors. And one teller working. Since I had class, I wasn't able to get there until 9:35, which I didn't consider all that late. But nonetheless, the line snaked up and down Lower Sproul. Up and down and up and down.

Those of us with 8 or 9 AM classes, or who had to teach one of those, were entirely screwed. Almost all faculty was shut out as well, since they didn't expect an hour long line. Those in line got screwed because of Cal Performances inability to prepare for a rush on tickets.

All in all, disheartening for anyone who isn't Bill Clinton.
