Tulsa time for Tea Party Express

Living on Tulsa time
Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Living on Tulsa time
Eric Clapton, "Tulsa Time," 1978.

Tea Party Express III is now headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a 4:00pm CDT rally at the Tulsa Fairgrounds.

I spent a day in Topeka in 2007, and it rained all morning. And it rained this morning when the Tea Party Express graced Kansas' state capital, as Third Wave Dave tells us:

Andrea (Shea King) reported to me this morning that it's pouring rain in Topeka and the TPX rally was moved inside. As they were riding the bus to the venue, most figured no one would show up in this downpour. While talking with Andrea, the bus turned on the street where the rally is to be held, and there they were... crowds of cheering, freedom-loving Americans standing out in the rain with umbrellas, signs, and flags!! I could hear the cheers over the phone, overwhelming.

Andrea reports that Lloyd Marcus hit the stage with "Singin' in the Rain," and the crowd joined in.
