It's a small thing, really...
This weekend the California Democratic Council is holding its convention near me...

I'm going to volunteer at the registration booth Saturday...

I'm jazzed!

At lunch, I'll get to hear Dennis Kucinich speak!

Check it out:

1. How cool, Peggy! Dennis came through Santa Cruz a few yrs back
and we saw him speak. He recited a poem of Keates. I was very impressed with him. :thumbsup:

Have fun and good for you! :hi:

5. OMG! Peggy, can I have YOUR autograph?
I very recently decided that I would work for Dennis. Life is too short to settle for less than excellence. :toast:

6. You are waaaaay to sweet!
My autograph isn't worth anything...

Dennis is very good...

Maybe we can get him into the Cabinet...

I agree about excellence, BTW...:toast:

You lucky daughter of a - never mind!

I'd love to meet Kucinich or any of the candidates! Obama is my top pick, but Edwards and Kucinich are right behind.

And you know that we will give you no choice but to give him a shout out for DU, and to demand that he check out DU and maybe even join up! ;-)

21. My dear malta blue!
I'm thinking it will be a lot of fun!

I decided it was time to give something more substantial to the party.......

You know I won't forget my camera!

In fact, today, I'm going out to replace my little point and shoot camera, since it died...

Don't want to lug around my big SLR to this venue!

31. cool beans, Peggy!
you have fun and make some new friends, as I know that you will.

Next summer in Denver, by where I live is the BIG convention. My guy and I are going to try to volunteer and take the week off and enjoy all that downtown has to offer. It really will be history in the making!

That's one of the reasons I bought my new little digital camera...

And it's very cool that you'll be in on the BIG one!

34. My dear stuntcat...
I'm not sure I'll have the courage to throw kisses...

We'll see!

But it gets better...

Sunday, my husband and I are going to a party in his honor...

We will be in a group of about 80...

Hopefully I can get some pics with him....
