I managed to get to the morning campaign event in Arlington, VA. Oddly, it was set at a very busy street corner a block away from a mall that would have provided better foot traffic. And a few blocks from the subway. I wonder if the Mall declined to let them on the property? (There will be better foot traffic possibilities at the afternoon Arlington event in Clarendon. And Georgetown tomorrow 11-12:30 will probably get a LOT of attention. They might even get a parking place!)
On the light side, since they couldn't park right at the corner (traffic, turn lanes etc etc) the team tried a couple of places slightly in from the corner. An early choice, right in front of the Hillary Clinton national campaign headquarters, got them very politely asked to find another spot. (No controversy - just being accommodating.) So they parked at the next building.
There's very little foot traffic where they ended up, so they were mostly getting people who were looking for them.
Swag: Dent poster card, Dent stickers and if they have any left, some might get a T-Shirt. They are taking pictures. They say many pictures (not necessarily all) will be posted on the Dent website. They mentioned buttons, but I didn't see any.

"who do you believe in(video)" in the submissions list
When you get towards the end check out the change in Harvey.
** Remember the Joker viral with picture scribbled Clown Face and words changed to TOO. This time its Two w/ Two-face image on it.
Might be a site coming for www.ibelieveinharveydenttwo.com
Trying to figure out if these vids are fan submitted or IG.

Sadly (or thankfully), I had no tiny purple shorts to wear.

I think the vids and pics are all fan-submitted, but that one's really good. Could've been an IG one thrown in to throw us off.

So...not much chatter here about the Dentmobile campaign - are people more engaged over at superherohype or other sites?

SHH does seem to be much more active for some reason.
Some other news that hasn't been posted here yet: if you get a photo or video submission approved on the site, you'll receive a gotham city voter ID card in the (physical) mail. Looks like we're heading to an election!
