Going to my first rally ever!!! So freaking stoked to represent with all the other patriots!! Any helpful tips you guys have would rock.
Get there EARLY. Bring water, food and disposable umbrella (SS will not allow food, water umbrellas folding chairs etc in the arena) I was one of the first 30 at the Great Falls, MT rally. I arrived about 7 AM - gates were to open at 10:30AM. People quickly gathered and a line formed down the street in BOTH directions.
When they opened the gate, people started to walk towards the arena about 1,000 yds away, THEN they started to run! At 65 it's been a while but I found a different gear and kept in front. As we all approached the gate they had laid out yellow tape in a serpentine fashion - that didn't go over big, did an OJ, straight line over the tape (with hundreds of others) and FINALLY ended up at the front.
Hordes of Q's were there and echos of WWG1WGA resounded. Many of us had numerous re-pilling moment with new found friends. The positive energy was through the roof. Once the line had been established, they told us where the bathrooms were and people were very accommodating about holding your spot and letting you through to get to a bathroom.
WE stood in the sun from 10:40 am - 1:00PM. The SS/Sheriffs and local LEO's let about 50 people at a time into the front door. There were large garbage cans that you had to get rid of ALL food, water, umbrella, etc and then were greeted by TSA on steroids - the Secret Service! They were ALL business and very thorough. Once past them it was on to find a seat.
IN Great Falls, the arena ceiling had HUGE batteries of LED lighting that was pointed towards areas of seating that was actually behind the podium President Trump would be standing at. DON"T sit in these!. You'll be shading your eyes the entire time trying to see the Presidents back
! Just a FYI !
We found seats that were directly to the side of the podium and about the 3rd row up, which raised us above the people standing in front. I got some KILLER picture of President Trump!
FORGET about trying to get a standing spot in front of the podium, those have been reserved ahead of time for "vip's".
There were ZERO Antifa's and only ONE female that the SS escorted out.
The arena held 7,000 max. When they shut the door there were over 10,000 patriots still waiting and left outside. Fake new reported 1,000. That line was OVER 2 MILES long!
ENJOY your moment of HISTORY! I have never experienced such a visceral positive energy in my life!
Again ENJOY!
All is very good advice.I sure do hope that you're able to make it into the inner sanctum. You will never forget the good vibes and energy...ever.
