I went to a Nader "super" rally not too far away at the Congress Theater (more Logan's Square than Wicker Park for you Chicago neighborhood aficionados, not far from the Real World folks, though). The place was packed and at 30 going on 31, I was much older than most people there. Ani Difranco and Patti Smith played.
