Please have fare ready.
Go Dance the Carmagnole with the Jacobins.
Stephen Gordon signed me up for LLS Campaign Management 201. I don't know what the heck imma do!
Got a voicemail from Ken Pentel (who has not put in a 2006 bid. You're voting for Sue anyway, aren't you?) this afternoon--I suppose I need to call him back. Someone from the House has agreed to author the bill, and the new corresponding House file is 3909. I still recommend canvassing the members of the Civil Laws Committee, in addition to Steve Sviggum, Speaker of the House--especially if you haven't already. We need to demand that this bill get a Hearing, that it be Considered, and ask for support in the measure. If it is going to be heard, it needs to meet Committee deadline of April 4th. For those of you who do not recall two posts ago, independent municipalities in Minnesota should have every right to use alternative voting methods such as Instant Runoff Voting in electing their councilpersons and mayors.
Though RollerGirls bouts are always a blast, last evening's had its hindrances. Nik, Kari and I stepped out of FabFern's, and in the order of lighting a motherland cigarette, I trusted my camera and two rinkside tickets to Kari's care. Unfortunately, the tickets did not survive the trip, and were nowhere to be found when arrived at the gate. Nik, unenthusiastic about attending the bout in the first place, ended up giving me his, and departed after the ticket ended up being undiscovered in his vehicle. Through this course, I had a hard time enjoying the first half of the Garda Belts versus Dagger Dolls match, and on the verge of packing up to silently march back up Cathedral Hill in disappointed silence, Kari managed to sob her way into access to the floor, and we were lucky enough to catch the rest of the bout from our usual season rinkside seats. After half time, though, and ninety seconds from the close of the GB vs DD matchup, the score was somewhere close to 91/97. The Garda's jammer (I regret not taking note of who it was, though it wasn't Mitzi) sliced through the pack and was about to make a second clean run through to bring the match that much closer, but one of the Dolls took an on-rink tumble and didn't get up--on-rink injuries call off the jam.
The Gardas were robbed of their win. SOPPING BALLS!
Anyhow, we caught a ride up the hill with Corey Sax and Britt (who also designed this bout's wonderful poster), had a nibble (back at Fern's, no less), yukked it up, and sang sea shanties with Rex back at the apartment for the remainder of the evening.
Next on the docket, calling back Ken, pestering committeepersons, waiting for Kari to get outta work, and for Matt to come by for libations and subversive method.
please use exact change,
