Harvey Dent Rally Photo Gallery
Today Qais and I had the honor of attending a momentous event. No, not just an event. A happening in true history-making style. I am of course talking about the Harvey Dent political rally at Pike's Place Market in Seattle today. While it was fun to get a bunch of free Batman-themed swag including a comic book, some stickers, t-shirts and buttons, I was left slightly disappointed in the turnout. What could have been a proper flash mob style viral marketing event was only attended by about 40 people, half of whom didn't really know what they were rallying for. A group of teenage girls from Salem, Oregon here on a choir trip chanted through their braces "We believe in Harvey Dent!" over and over again, cheering and holding up signs as cars passed. I observed one of them being sent to investigate just what they were cheering for, only to report back "guys they said this isn't for a movie, it's a real political campaign."
Did this whip Seattle into a frenzy about the new Batman movie? No. Was it fun to geek it up in a very public place in the middle of the day? Hell yes. A gallery of photos after the jump (click to zoom).
