UPDATE: If you don't have a ticket at this point, and you're not willing to buy one ($100 for 2) from the SCGOP immediately (assuming they have any left), you're SOL for getting inside the debate.

If you are disabled, and are not staying in a hotel that can provide parking, please get there as early as possible and try to get a spot in the 1st parking area I listed. It will fill up very fast.
Here's the general traffic flow coming in:
Here's where we want to be.
Pay attention, the important stuff is here. The dark gray is a hard closing to traffic in effect at 5PM. The light gray is a soft closing in effect at the same time. Places in red are high priority. Places in red away from the marked A are parking entrances. The red at the tip top is the bottom part of the parking deck with an entrance on the street above. We really need folks handing out literature there. Please, no crazy conspiracy theory crap. Anybody able to do this? I have in mind getting Campaign For Liberty trifolds, and then slipping a little slip of paper in them with links to Ron Paul and Gary Johnson's websites. Suggestions for improving/alternatives? Anyway ... places in yellow are lower priority.... green is we're an army pie in the sky overflow. There is yellow back near the amphitheater as there is a bridge there to the parking lot across the river.... and those familiar with the area know Ron Paul held a rally there, so insert some nostalgia. People with large equipment (read: blimps) get there early to get primo location. In general, we need folks getting there early early early to get primo location. This means forsaking hearing some of your icons speak at the Tea Party rally before hand. However, nobody said anything about missing Ron Paul speak back at the same rally location afterward.
If you would like to stay at the Tea Party rally as long as possible, I need a handful of reliable people (priority to dues paying members and coordinators in C4L who can prove they are so) to PM me their cell phone number, and I will go to the Peace Center early and phone in when it's time to rally the troops.
We also still need to get high quality video footage for use in making videos/campaign materials for Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. I plan to be there with my Panasonic Lumix FZ35 ... but having several people with 1080p quality equipment and willing to license what they get under creative commons would be a tremendous positive. I'm willing to do the video editing and host it afterwards. Volunteers?
We still need people to make and hang banners:

Remember that how you act reflects on the campaigns of Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. Don't be a douchebag. Kill them with kindness. Don't yell during the debate randomly. But you are encouraged to be STRATEGICALLY vocal during the debate. If our guys are getting booed, drown them out. If there is a heated exchange between one of our guys and one of the neocons ... let the vocal praise/boo flow. Be strategic about it. No random yelling like at CPAC, please. Have some tact.
Lastly ... I have been told by the Greenville City we do not need any permits to support our candidate in the streets. If anybody gives you guff, call the Google Voice for my company, Galt's Gulch Industries, LLC: 1-706-389-GALT It will connect to my cellphone. DO NOT abuse that phone number. I'm quite busy, so please ring me up only if you have a good reason.
I've gone as far as I can alone. Now I need you, and the rest of the R[evol]ution. Spread this post far and wide. The R[evol]ution continues!
