Ok, maybe not — I’m not that good. Although, I’ll be going to Washington DC to witness Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration, and experience some history in person. There’s a lot of reasons why I could have just enjoyed it here in Seattle, but I always said to myself if Obama won the election — I would head to DC no matter what. Do I have any tickets for the festivities? Nope. I may get lucky though.
Now, I’ve bought my plane ticket to Washington DC, and luckily I’ll be bumming off my buddy VaLiesha at Howard University — so it’s going to be exciting. Also, hopefully I’ll be connecting with my long lost buddy from Disney, Steph. I’ll be there from 1/17-1/21, so I’m hoping to experience DC before all the hoopla is there and catch the sites and scenery. A lot of drawing and photos will be had there, as well as other things.

Obama signing my book in October 2006. I'm the big black head in bottom left corner about to shake his hand. Who would have thought?

I went to a Barack Obama fundraiser yesterday called Baracktoberfest and had a great time. The day was filled with healthy conversations, great people, funny swag, thoughtful trivia, and most importantly — great beer. The bar even had a Barack Obama (pale ale) and a John McCain (IPA) beer tap — not being biased at all, I liked the pale ale. I forgot who made the beer, so if you know — comment below.
Big props goes out to Natala who helped set this whole thing up with her friends, and it’s always good to see some excitement in politics — especially in times like these. If you weren’t able to make it out yesterday for the festivities, feel free to show your support and help add to the $1,700 donated that day to the campaign.
