Here's a message from Michael that went out today about the Republican National Convention screening tonight at the State. It's going to be a rainy night, so head down to the cozy theater for a historic night with McCain-Palin! The action starts at 8:00 p.m.

"There are still lots of tickets for tonight's free viewing of John McCain's acceptance speech at the State Theatre, part of our "Election '08 at the State" festivities. Last week we turned hundreds away from the standing room only crowd at the Obama speech. C'mon Republicans and others interested in the political process, let's pack the place again tonight! We've got State Sen. Jason Allen calling in live from the convention floor in St. Paul, local Republican officials will be on hand to greet you, we might even have an elephant outside on Front St. if we can find one! It all starts at 8 p.m. and goes until 11. Bring the kids and let them see history in the making! The State Theatre is for everyone. See you tonight!"
