280 - Hillary

Hillary was(?)in town on Saturday. Here's the story on (?). The news said to be at the high school gym at 8:00pm. They said send an RSVP on the net so Hillary's crew can figure out how many people are coming. My wife sent the RSVP. I'm sitting there thinking, do we really want to attend this mob scene?
So what the hell, let's go, it's 7:00. We get there around 7:30. I'm thinking, we're getting here way too late. I was right. The gym was packed to the gills. They had anticipated this though and had big screen monitors all over the place. Cafeteria, front hall, side halls, etc.....
So we're standing in the school hallway watching a monitor of the gym. 8:00 - no Hillary. 8:15 - no Hillary. 8:30 - I say to my wife, lets beat the crowd and leave now. She agrees. We get back home at 9:00 and turn on the news. What's on TV? A shot of the gym showing people waiting for Hillary.
The last I saw on the news at 9:45 Hillary's plane still hadn't landed yet. We watched a movie. "16 Blocks" It was a pretty good movie. As I write this I still don't know if she showed up.

Update - she showed up "late last night" per a news story.
