Wednesday, 6 October 04 :: teresa heinz-kerry

teresa heinz-kerry is coming to eugene tommorrow. and *i* have a vip ticket.

yep. i got one of the 29 tickets going around the office. i can't believe it.

and get this.

andrea ortiz, our newest city councilor, (i was her campaign assistant manager) is one of the pre-speakers, as with kitty piercy. i think i'm more excited to see andrea speak on the same stage as our future first lady than i am to be seeing our future first lady myself.

its great to live in a swing state this year. and its great to live in one of the 2 places in the state that the progressives / liberals/ dems know if they loose, they can't win the state. last week it was howard dean (he wears some seriously nose-hair bending aftershave), labor day weekend it was carole king.. howie is going to come back, and max cleland will be at the vets club on friday.

oh and did i mention dick cheney being here and my friend peter yelling him down? georgie is the only one who has dared not to set foot anywhere near eugene. better the fuck not, peter won't be the only one using their first amendment rights to let that fucker know he can't do this shit to us and the world anymore. we'll have swarms of peters if he dares come near eugene.

anyhow. i can't believe it. i get to go see teresa heinz-kerry tommorrow!

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
