Woot! He's on the move again!

"Perennial" is rot. He ran three times in 25 years. Reagan ran three times, was he 'perennial'? Only the last two helped his organization. I WISH he were perennial, we'd get another shot at it.

Awesome! This will be a great opportunity for some local grassroots organizing!

I don't know if they have a back up venue?

I went to double check if it all tickets are gone or if they are moving to a different venue. I don't have the answer yet, but found this blurb on 'high profile speakers', the picture actually shown is the woman:

HIGH-PROFILE SPEAKERS
Colgate brings interesting speakers to campus throughout the year. As part of Entrepreneur Weekend, Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg will talk on April 5. The following weekend, former Mexico president Felipe Calderon will speak as part of the Global Leaders Lecture Series, and on April 24 Ron Paul will be on campus.

I wonder if the other two they name first have any tickets left to their events?

edit - well, Calderon has tickets to spare, if anyone wants to see him....

I don't see it saying tickets are gone though, or that you need them... but if it is a chapel it would make sense...

I asked the guy who tweeted they were gone :

@Keegan_Foose Are u sure they're gone? I just see it says he is speaking in the Chapel at 5 - I don't see anything about tix

Keegan Foose ‏@Keegan_Foose now
@usernamenuse Yeah I had a friend who goes there to see if he could get a couple. He said they ran out already when he asked.

@Keegan_Foose thanks. There is an email at the link I sent if you want to ask if they held back any for the night of the event.

If I lived there I'd send an email to the address in my post above, and ask if they held any tickets back for the night of the event. They do sometimes.
