Nader '08

Ralph Nader is going to be in the San Francisco area at the end of the month! I'm hoping to go to one of the events listed below. I've never been to a rally like these before (OR an "intimate" lunch with a presidential candidate) but I think it would be pretty cool.

What exactly does that mean, "an intimate lunch" anyway? Do you get to sit at the same table as Ralph Nader? Does he make a speech for a small room of people? Do you get to ask him questions? Is Ralph going to eat food? Would my seat at this be wasted because I don't really have any penetrating and insightful questions to ask? Is it a brown bag lunch? What if you're vegan? What kind of weirdos are going to have paid $200 to be there?

I tried googling the answers to these questions, but didn't find anything. Maybe people who have an intimate lunch with Ralph Nader are then sworn to secrecy, or mind wiped so they don't even remember they were there.

I'm scared, I think maybe the rally sounds safer (not to mention 20X cheaper!)
