When I woke up today, I had a massive headache and my eyes hurt as a result of last night (not a direct cause of the party, mind you).

And that\’s how I went to see Michael Moore talk at the Greek Theatre.

It took nearly an hour to get everyone inside the theatre. The sun made it sweltering. Gina, Xing and I had to sit at near the top on stone benches. I hadn\’t eaten anything substantial since 3 pm the day prior. So I spent $2 on chips and $2 on a drink. Eninem played on the loudspeakers. I wonder if Michael Moore choose that song in particular.

It was absolutely great to hear someone so left-wing speak to a crowd of Berkeleyians.

During a press conference before the talk, someone had asked him How do you like preaching to a choir?

That\’s right. Because almost every five minutes during the talk (to 5000+ audience, this show was sold out three days ago!), someone would scream MICHAEL MOORE FOR PRESIDENT!

He read a chapter from his book Dude, Where\’s My Country where God speaks about the mess He could not prevent, namely the DUBBA administration. Michael Moore also talked about the war in Iraq as well as all the stupid white men prancing around in this country we called USA.

It was so good that I think I want to splurge $27.01 for his book.
