Grant Park Dispatch #2: A New Hope?

The first ticketed people were just admitted to the fenced area at the Obama site -- the Star Wars theme song blaring as they literally ran over the bridge near Congress Hill after getting through the security checkpoint.

People are clad in all manner of Obama gear, and one girl was almost brought to tears when it seemed she couldn't get in due to a strangely printed ticket (she got in). It's not clear if the admitted have full access or if they're being ushered to a second waiting area.
