It really must be rally time!

Political rally time? Gametime rally? Hard to tell.

I just got both a text message in my phone and email message in Yahoo telling me about a rally to be held downtown in Willard Park. That's the place with Claes Oldenburg's Free Stamp sculpture.

Featured guests? Sen. Barack Obama, so there's your political part of the rally.

Get this though, and this might be real cause to rally, depending on your leanings: Cleveland Cavalier and Olympic Bronze and Gold medalist LeBron James AND Cleveland Browns Pro-Bowl outside linebacker Willie McGinest. There's also a hip-hop artist, but his name was not ringing any bells for me. Still, that's going to add to the festive texture of the rally. Can't go to a basketball game without much hip-hop, and there's usually some at a football game, too! (Though Obama's more of a Sinatra man, from all accounts!)

The Free Stamp is where the Komen Race began. It's a GREAT backdrop for social justice events. It's walkable, there's plenty of parking, and it's wide open. If you're available, GO.

The event is free, but they want preregistration for advanced headcounts. (As always, everything that's underlined is a hyperlink!)

Sounds like a winner to me!
