Thousands watch Obama at SF Civic Center
http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/san_francisco&id=6614871
NextArts, the cultural organization that sponsored the free event, predicted crowds of up to 8,000. Tony Imperial, NextArts' director, had counted roughly 3,000 by 8 a.m. By the time Obama took the stage, staffers were too busy to conduct rough counts, but the crowd filled the plaza and spilled into the areas on either side.
"It doesn't get any better than this," Imperial said, watching the people packed tightly against the barrier in front of the screen.

Tickets to inauguration? Take transit to Civic Center
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/11/22/BACC1499UG.DTL&feed=rss.jking
Last spring, gambling on political futures, the nonprofit concert organizer NextArts reserved the plaza for Inauguration Day. And now that there's a president-elect whose ascension is viewed by many as cause for celebration, NextArts is renting a video screen to broadcast the festivities beginning at 7 a.m.
More good news: Although tickets for Obama's swearing-in are being scalped on the Internet for prices that would make a hedge fund manager blush, it won't cost a dime to be at Civic Center. The only requirement is that attendees bring socks or underwear with the tags still attached.
NextArts - which has called the event the "Sock It to Me Concert" - will donate the unused undergarments to homeless groups.
Seating begins at 6 a.m.; we'll see if local politicians jump on the bandwagon and make this a full-fledged event. For more information, go to www.nextarts.org.

NextArts, the cultural organization that sponsored the free event, predicted crowds of up to 8,000. Tony Imperial, NextArts' director, had counted roughly 3,000 by 8 a.m. By the time Obama took the stage, staffers were too busy to conduct rough counts, but the crowd filled the plaza and spilled into the areas on either side.
"It doesn't get any better than this," Imperial said, watching the people packed tightly against the barrier in front of the screen.
