3. Whistlestop, you know you want to

What a line up! Plus after the county conventions you're going to want to talk more politics or maybe not. And if you don't there's all that great entertainment. Plus supporting David is just the right thing to do right now.

9. Thank you John!

I can't make this event, but I am working my butt off for David here in Austin. I should be really skinny by November. }(

Have fun at the event and someone please post a report.

10. A nice plug for the event from the Easter Lemming Liberal:

I need to go to my Senate District Convention and the David Van Os Houston BBQ and get more optimistic and charged up.

So if your dauber's down about dead dancers, pending chair battles, or even a longtime DUer who signs Kinky's petition, come get recharged this Saturday night! You'll have good food, good fun, and get to meet a real progressive Democrat on the ballot!

11. Thanks for the pub, Eric:

If I had to describe David Van Os in one word, I would probably have to say "momentum". The dude never stops. Now he's coming to Houston to one of my favorite venues, and he's bringing some heavy hitters with him.

Van Os, best known for his Filibuster for Independence at the Texas State Capitol, is running for Texas Attorney General, and is well into a marathon speaking tour through Texas.

Mark your calendars. This Saturday, March 25th, he'll be at Drexler's BBQ.

That's right, Clyde "The Glide" Drexler's Mom's and Pop's place at 2300 Pierce, a downtown landmark.

With him will be Master of Ceremonies Richard Morrison, who is running against Tom DeLay for District 22 in this year's election.

Music will be provided by David Rovics, who's show has been described as "the musical version of Democracy Now", and a musical political comedy called "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime".

Advance tickets are cheaper, but you can pay at the door.

(Psst: It's Nick Lampson, not Richard, this go-round.)

12. Your 36-hour warning.

Festivities begin in a day and a half.

13. Why don't you post this in GD?

I just got off the phone with Rachel.

They need all the help they can get.

I am sure there are many in GD who rarely get to the Texas forum.

15. Thank you all for your wonderful support and especially....

...thank you all for everything you do every day in our common struggle to depose the gangster clique that seized our federal and state governments through trickery and deception and is now making war on the people and the Constitution. Always speak the truth, protect the helpless, honor democracy, and defend the Constitution. -- David Van Os

16. David was phenomenal at the SD7 Convention!

He was the only candidate who spoke who got everyone on their feet! I wish I could get to the whistle stop tonight. Y'all have a great time and raise lots of money!!!!
