Journal 21

I am going to be honest, sometimes I fall behind on my journal entries, with this one it is painfully obvious that I didn't write it on Monday. But anyway on with the Obama rally. Spartan TV had set up their base camp I guess you would call it at the Music building, within ear shot of the rally, which was helpful later. The plan was to report on the happenings in the line which basically stretched across campus and then later stream the rally live to anyone watching. So for the first few hours we would have a camera pointed at the line and then do little live hits talking about what was happening. We would also the the camera around and find interesting stories like a school teacher that brought his whole class to the rally. We also interviewed the small group of McCain supporters who actually had a press secretary, intense right? Then finally came the rally. We had cameras set up right in front with the rest of the press so we got an awesome shot. At the peak we had about 180 people watching the station, which for the launch was a really good number.
