Saw a lot of familiar faces tonight at the Civic Opera House, where several hundred people raised a lot of money for Governor Dean’s campaign. In many ways, it’s reassuring to see several of the same people who have been with the campaign in Illinois since the early days this year.
Also exciting was to see so many new faces. I’ll post some pictures tomorrow. If you have some and you’d like me to post them, just drop me a line (I’m rick at illinoisfordean.org) and I’ll get them up.
Were you there? What did you think?
Kudos to Jenny Lehner and Kevin Conlon’s office for putting on a terrific event.

Thanks for co-hosting what really was a terrific evening at the Opera House. All the energy of a rally, but everyone dressed a bit nicer.Some of our pics from the event are on the main page at DEANcore:http://deancore.blogspot.com/The full set (37 pics) with thumbs is posted here:http://home.comcast.net/~deancore/operahouse/index.html
