I apologize in advance for the short diary, but does anyone know the status of notifying people about tickets for Barack's acceptance speech? I called and emailed confirming that I wanted them, and never was able to contact a live human being. It's apparently the DNC's convention committee, rather than the Obama campaign, that's issuing them. But all I hear when I call the DNC is that the local Campaign for Change office (if there even is one in Maryland) will contact me.
Supposedly, they were going to start notifying people yesterday, but so far, I've heard nothing. If we were able to get them, my wife and I were planning to make that part of our summer vacation, but we need to hear something one way or the other pretty soon.
Has anybody (at least outside of Colorado) heard yet whether you've gotten tickets? If they don't do a lot better than they seem to be so far at letting people know where they stand, what could well have been a great idea to build enthusiasm could well end up turning more people off than it gets fired up.
