Well, the President is (roughly) scheduled to speak at 2. But, folks have been lining up for hours now.  Over at Neon Tommy<\/a>, they’ve been liveblogging the situation at USC. Oh, and the photo is a shot of the line AT 6:00AM<\/b>!  See David Atkins liveblog above!<\/p>\n

\"Obama<\/a><\/p>\n

6:00 a.m.

“Line’s already formed along W. 34th St. at Trusdale. At least a couple hundred people out here braving the drizzle. Most of the people out here as yet appear to be students, but there are some older faces in the crowd.” -Ryan Lee Kindel<\/p>\n

“Line is starting to build, I’d say in 10 minutes it should reach the Cinema School. Tickets? No tickets? Food? Is an umbrella a weapon? Security is already getting hounded with questions at the Obama event.” -Laura Cueva<\/p>\n

6:20 a.m.<\/p>\n

“People cheering for the news camera. Students at the front of the line started waiting at 3:30 this morning after little to no sleep. Perhaps it goes without saying that they’re big Obama fans.” -RLK<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: Though initial reports said people who arrived before 6 a.m. would be turned away, this turned out not to be true.(Neon Tommy<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enthusiasm gap?  Well, if a 9 hour line isn’t enthusiasm, I’m not sure what is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
