5. We did. The rain held off so we partied until we were

blue in the face. Turn out was very good considering the weather. The speakers were outstanding.

I'm glad we did away with the cash bar and just bought a few cases of beer.

and there were horses. I sent this image to WTVQ's Photos Friday.

9. Was it on the general or the planning committe e-mail?

I usually read the planning committee mail, but sometimes miss the general mail.

Great slide show. It was a terrific event.

The Dem reunion last week was pretty good. A lot of the younger activist showed for that event.

I signed up 14 people for CFK's mailing list Saturday at the Animal Jam. I was with Don Pratt and Troy at the Amnesty table. Several of them seem like they would be assets this season.

BTW, Peace vigil at 8:30 Monday Aug 7 at Triangle Park.
