I have a few quick disclaimers before I start this episode: PNWcast is a region specific podcast covering history and culture in the Pacific Northwest. The story I'm bringing you today is technically political and current, so it's a little different, but I think it's relevant. To be clear, this episode is in no way making a political statement or telling you who to vote for, but strongly encourages you vote and have open conversations about this year's election. Also, the scene this story draws from is in Spokane, Washington which is technically the inland northwest. I've already received emails correcting me geographically when it comes to what's included in the Pacific Northwest, so if you were about to shoot over another email, you don't have to, we're good. Also, this episode includes some pretty heavy material that might be triggers for some people along with brief uncensored language and strong derogatory phrases.

In this election we have Kasich, Cruz and Trump running for the Republican nomination and Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for the Democratic. The presidential hopefuls have been making their rounds around the country, stopping in most large cities holding these rallies where supporters can get together and hear the candidate speak. The democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders made his stops through Washington last week and I wanted to see what he was about so I attended the Rally in Spokane, Washington....along with 10,000 other people.

The scene was unreal. Bernie Sanders was scheduled to speak at 9pm, but the people at the front of the line showed up at 7am. I showed up at around 4pm and had to walk down the line through riverfront park a little over half a mile. Eventually the line would be close to a mile long. There was this energetic vibe through the whole park, there were performers, there were cheers and singing, there was music, and everyone felt something, like something big. Among the 10,000 attendees, was this guy. His name is Adam Gregory, he's a photographer in spokane. He went down to the Bernie Rally to take some pictures and witness the spectacle. He had no idea that he about to capture some of the most real and raw photos of his career.
