Obama Mia! It's Time for Another Rally

Barack Obama "Texas Countdown to Change"
Saturday, November 17
The Backyard (13101 W Highway 71)
$25 General, $15 Students, 3pm
[info] | [tickets]
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama dazzled over 20,000 Austinites last February at his Auditorium Shores rally, and this weekend he aims to do the same.

Tickets to this Saturday's "Texas Countdown to Change" rally at the Backyard are still available for $25, and even cheaper ($15) if you're a student. Still, if you find those contribution amounts a tad steep but still want to support the charismatic senator from Illinois, there are two other events you might want to check out.

Tonight's Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas will take place at 7 p.m. CST, and a handful of Obama supporters are getting together at Scholz Garten from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to watch the live broadcast. Before Saturday's rally, there's a Longhorn Tailgate BBQ for Barack, also at Scholz Garten, at 11am. Both are free (BBQ notwithstanding), and might be interesting even if you're leaning more towards Hillary, Edwards, Ron Paul, or the President of 9/11.

After the jump: pre-rally carpool meetup locations.
