Thanks for including the car show, Geeky Swedes!
Happy Pride this weekend, too. :)
Wonder why Reuven Carlyle's the only district legislator not attending the health care event…
Dang! I always forget about this. Is the parade on Saturday?
Thank you for giving this update it is very helpful.
Trix, the parade is Sunday at 11.
Hope to see you there – I'll be the straight chick. LOL
Thanks, Blacksheep! Happy to hear it's on Sunday. Won't interfere with the car show. I can experience both! It's going to be a good weekend.:-)
I hope so – it looks like the weather's going to be a bit iffy for the parade. I hope that doesn't result in excessive clothing. ;)
I can't tell if the health care reform event is advocacy for something specific or just a general “we need to change things” forum. Sounds more like the former, but it's unclear exactly what they are advocating…
Hope not. I don't think a few sprinkles will cause anyone to cover up their parade outfits, though.
Or lack of outfit, as the case may be. ;)
Sorry I can't make it to the event. It's family day for my wife and 4 kids and I hope you can understand the importance of carving out private time for our family as well as legislative work. I care a lot about this vital issue for our community and am grateful that Sen. Kohl-Welles and Rep. Dickerson will be there in force.
Reuven.
