September 14, 2009

TO:  University of Maryland Community

As you know, President Barack Obama will visit the University of
Maryland on Thursday, September 17, 2009, to hold a rally on the issue
of health care.  Below are details about the event.

DATE/TIME:  Thursday, September 17, 2009, 11:00 a.m.

DOORS OPEN:  9:00 a.m.

TICKETS:  This event is free and open to the public. NO TICKET IS
REQUIRED.  Space is available on a first come, first served basis.

SEATING INSIDE THE COMCAST CENTER:  Seating will be on a first come,
first served basis.  Please follow usher directions.

HEARING IMPAIRED:  There will be a sign interpreter at the event.  A
limited number of seats will be held in the Comcast Center for hearing
impaired guests.  After you pass through security, please go to one of
the "Help" stations inside the Comcast Center and a volunteer will
direct you.  Please note that seating is limited and will be provided on
a first come, first served basis.

PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION:  Faculty, staff and students should park in
their designated areas.  However, because we expect a large crowd,
please follow directions from official personnel.  If you are directed
to an alternate parking area, you may leave your car there all day
without penalty.    There will be NO parking allowed in Lot P2.  We
strongly encourage members of the campus community to take public
transportation and car pool to work on Thursday.  If you plan to drive,
please consider arriving early.

Members of the general public should use public transportation.

Limited handicapped parking will be available in the Terrapin
Trail/Arena Garage off of Route 193.

SHUTTLE BUSES:  Free shuttle buses will be provided by the University of
Maryland to and from the University of Maryland-College Park Metro
Station (Green Line) starting at 6:00 a.m. on Thursday until two hours
following the event.   The shuttle buses will drop off as close to the
Comcast Center as possible, but there will be a short walk to the
entrance.  Regular shuttle bus service to and from the Metro Station
will resume for the remainder of the day.

SECURITY:  All attendees will go through airport-like security and
should bring as few personal items as possible.  NO back packs, no bags,
no large purses, no sharp objects, no umbrellas, no food or beverages,
no strollers, and no signs will be allowed into the Comcast Center. 
These items cannot be left outside unattended, so please do not bring
them.   Cameras are permitted.

CONCESSIONS:  The concession stands will be open inside the Comcast
Center.  Light snacks and beverages will be sold. (Probably no 930 cupcakes. Sorry)

OVERNIGHT LINES:  Lining up overnight will NOT be permitted.  Lines may
begin forming at 5:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 17.  Please follow
police direction for the line.

CLASSES:  Classes will continue following normal university practices. 

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES:   All administrative operations will continue as
usual.

Again, on Thursday we can expect a large crowd, additional traffic,
changes in traffic patterns, and possible changes in parking.  Please
check the University of Maryland home page for updates on any changes
that develop.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Nariman Farvardin, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost

Linda Clement, Vice President for Student Affairs

Good thing I get to park right next to the circus while I try to get to class that day. 
Im glad they didnt allow open parking. 
I am kind of worried about this statement though:

If you are directed to an alternate parking area, you may leave your car there all day
without penalty. 

It is destined to be a clusterfuck. 

[betao]

is it a live set or a DJ set?

Has he changed his setlist yet?
It's a healthcare rally

Is his wife still in the band? And kids?

Any guest musicians?
Gov. O'Malley, who really is a musician

How about taping?
On the record only, even if he says the truth about Kanye

Is parking included in the price?
Maybe but very limited anyway (classes are in session); free shuttle from College Park Metro

also, any word on the opener for this show?

It's Hillary Clinton in a CLASSIC "opener > headliner" scenario.

The Wailers at Ramshead Live October 11. Very misleading description since Carlton was unfortunately dead by early 87. Having said that I've always wanted to see Family Man but I doubt I can make this show...October is turning into a crazy month


The Wailers

Following leader Bob Marley's death, the Wailers Band struggled nearly a decade for direction, hampered from releasing their own music by a Gordian knot of legal entanglements. Anchored by world-class bassist Family Man Barrett and his drummer brother Carlton, the Wailers Band performed well-received international tours almost constantly through the '80s.
