I was getting into that event by any means available
Much like the character in the 5th century poem Psychomachia, patience is a virtue that triumphs over anger in the end. If you read my last political event blog posting, you would know that there was a slight misunderstanding about my credentials at the Obama campaign kickoff rally in Columbus back in May. In my 'BTS' about that event, I described how I did not get in as a credentialed journalist but attended anyway in the general seating area. While I was not happy about how that day turned out, there was one 'silver lining' that made that trip worthwhile. When discussing my press status with the staff, I was able to talk directly with a campaign media representative and we exchanged contact information. She apologized for not letting me in for that event but said that I should keep in touch for future Ohio events. That opportunity finally surfaced early last month just a few miles from my house.
