I got hired by ABC news! I'll be meeting Obama on Nov. 4th

[Prof.]

My dad is a freelance Videographer and he and I got hired by ABC News to cover the Obama Victory Party in Grant Park Chicago and to possibly cover an interview with Barack Obama. If all goes according to plan, I'll be meeting Senator Barack Obama!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

My life will be complete.

Prof.

Hey congratulations, that's pretty awesome. Best of luck!

If you meet him, please ask him to get his body man — Reggie Love — to get in touch with BV at MacRumors. I have an itch that needs scratching. Grrow.

Oh, and tell him I thought his peanut butter and jelly sandwich joke was a bit lame.

That's BV. MacRumors. Cheers. ;)

Congrats on the job Prof.! Is it a full time gig or just for this event? I hope you get to meet Obama.

It's a one time gig from early morning to... well... however long it takes to get all the votes in. So maybe 2am? ABC will be paying me 25-30 bucks an hour plus overtime.

Cool. Good luck and enjoy it, I'm sure it will be something you will always remember.

You know, I totally forgot about that! :eek:

I will be in Madison for work. :(

I might be going to an election party at some colleague's house.

[Thomas Veil]

Congratulations, Prof, you lucky dog!

If I PM you my address, will you let him know where to send my welfare check? ;)

[Dmac77]

It's highly presumptuous to assume that he'll win.

[Thomas Veil]

It'd be suspicious in the extreme if he didn't.

[abijnk]

How exciting! Congrats Prof., and good luck!

You know, if you need a date for the occasion we can totally overlook any current engagements or conflicts in sexual persuasion for the evening. I'll hold the mic or something... ;)

[aethelbert]

I'll be meeting President Elect Barack Obama!
Fixed that for ya. :D
Fixed that for ya.

Assuming that he wins, that is.

As to prof, enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience!

[Ntombi]

Congrats! That sounds really exciting!

Fantastic news -- I read that you were up for the gig earlier today.
What's better than the money and rubbing elbows is the fact you may very well be watching one of the most significant events in American political history happen before your eyes.

Well, the camera's eye. You pay attention to your work!
