I'm going to walk with John Lewis this afternoon.

For real! He is doing a GOTV march to the polls in my city today. I am taking off work to go. Once in a lifetime chance, people

One of the perks of living at ground zero in a battleground state is that all the big guns visit. It is ho-hum these days to see Facebook posts of my friends with The Big Dawg or Tim Kaine. One friend was watching the gubernatorial debate at a bar when Joe Biden walked in Bon Jovi is doing a free concert here. David Byrne is doing a bicycle GOTV event through the hottest millennial neighborhood in the city on Saturday! The GOP and various conservative PACs have totally f-ed up their mailing lists so I am getting GOP and "Values" Voter mailings too, which tickles me to no end. It is cray-cray these days....

But John Lewis is my fav. So excited to see him in person.
