For the first time since I started my job, I have to video my town's republican committee meeting
I'm considering calling in sick that day (or leaving sick, coz I will surely be gagging up chunks listening to that bullshit)

2. I think you should go, it'll likely be educational
If nothing else it may tip you off to which local persons you'd prefer not to do business with in future.

5. Keep your ears and eyes open. A hot mike can be your friend.

9. totally
If I was tasked with the gig I'd have a couple sennheiser shotgun mics covering the room and be looking for someone's "macacca" moment ;)

6. I took a job at Boca Java (a Limpballs advertiser) ... that lasted a month. There really is a depth

to my hypocrisy. I just couldn't shut up.

But take off the Dean shirt for a couple of hours, you'll do fine.

7. Bummer! What u can do though:
A) Prior to going, make sure u consume groceries that are edible, twice (twinkies maybe?)
B) Wear hip boots instead of waders..Ya might want to moon a few folks, and waders just take all the fun out of it
C) Get an appropriate t-shirt...the one with Sarah Phailin sporting the "Joker" face should suffice.
D) Use the camera to zoom in on slack jaws, sloping foreheads, and open zippers.
E) breast feed a Freddie Kruger doll
F) thumb through copy's of Penthouse and Playgirl while the camera is locked on the tripod....

8. Why not go?
First off, you're recording it. You aren't participating

Secondly, it can clue you in to all the evil stuff they plan. Cons are incredibly honest when they think everyone agrees with them.

11. Definitely call in sick--it wouldn't be as though you were lying.

Better yet, yell out, "You lie!" You'll be on your way home in minutes!

13. go all "Colbert" on them, get enlightened crowd shots
if a nose is picked, make sure it's on the record.

Also, tilt the camera ever so slightly to one sight to make it appear as though the people are slightly irregular

We're upgrading our system to a new server and going totally digital and we, at the station, are expecting major FUBAR for several weeks, so they may not even get broadcasted.
