Tom Allen and Rock The Vote!
Hey guys! This has been a super week! Well, mostly just Saturday and the lead up to it.
So it started with when) Tom Allen came on Saturday afternoon. As a Secretary of UNE Democrats (who brought him) I was one of the people in charge of setting up and walking him in. It was really awesome meeting him again and hearing him talk about why we (this generation) should get involved with the election in this last 30 days and how this huge financial crisis really affects us. He is super nice and way down to Earth! Here’s a picture from the last time I met him (at this Democratic convention thing up in Lewiston). I didn’t get any pictures of Saturday’s event.
Then Saturday night was Rock The Vote. It was so much fun! There was three bands and Shane from Road Rules. There were also games like pin the tail on the donkey and guess that candidate. The prizes? Life size McCain and Obama cardboard cutouts!! The UNE Democrats said if we won Obama then we would be bringing him out to dinner one night. I don’t know who won, but I really hope it was one of us! Now I could talk way more about how awesome it was, but I’ll just let my pictures do the talking:
Me and "Obama"
This is my friend Mike between McCain and Obama... as you can probably tell he doesn't know who he is going to vote for yet.
Shane from Road Rules and me
This is me trying to pin the tail on the Obama donkey. Okay so I was so far off that I was like on the other wall. It was so hilariously bad!
This is the cute our little UNE Democrats booth!
This is one of the bands who played, well the lead singer for one of the bands. Everyone was really good and super nice!
Anyways, so that was my Saturday. Now I have 2 HUGE tests this week and a debate for my congress class, so I have a lot of work. But, next Saturday is Habitat's 2nd work day in Portland and the long weekend, so some stuff to look forward to at least. I hope you guys had a fun weekend and hope you have a nice week ahead of you! = )
