Barack the Vote

I planned for this event more than I've ever had to plan before.  We had thought of having the event at Bohemia Cafe and bringing in live music, but turns out we were wrong.  I quickly rescheduled the event to Midtown Sundries, where we booked out a whole room and had a beautifully successful event!  About 30 people showed up and we got 11 new volunteers to sign up!  I bought some wings and pitchers of beer, and before I knew it there were people coming from all over the restaurant to check us out.  I was able to have campaign conversations with 3 people that were not even informed that the event was going to be there.  I tried to take some pictures, but was so busy greeting people, showing them where to go, registering them to vote, getting them free bumper stickers on barackobama.com and signing them up to be volunteers for Organize for America.  Here are a few pics that other people were able to take for me.  In the future, I will appoint a photographer so that I do not have to worry about doing that as well.

 Asia, the organizing fellow from St. Pete College was able to get us some awesome sunglasses! She's amazing.

Janeen is a great data entry captain and voter reg captain.  She is helping me set up here.  Aren't the ribbons on the placards awesome?!
