DFA meeting postponed til AFTER ELECTION DAY

Written by: Dina Johnson on Oct 20, 2006 3:49 PM EDT

Hi Everyone,
Tuesday November 7th, is ELECTION Day, so DFA meetup in November is postponed.

On ELECTION DAY, we will be busy with Get Out the Vote, with voting ourselves, and if all goes well, PARTYING TIL DAWN when the Democrats retake the U.S. House and Senate. Find yourself an election-night party!!! In future years, "party like it's twenty-oh-six" will mean something...

I would like to postpone DFA meeup a day following, maybe Friday, and we will meet in an informal location nearby, a pub or restaurant, to be anounced.

Tonight, Friday Oct. 2th, I go to the Dem Party's Maggie Awards banquet, and hope to meet Russ Feingold.

On Sunday, October 22nd, Bob Parker & John Sinno are co-hosting a fundraiser for Jim McDermott, "Artists for Jim McDermott," at the Museum of History & Industry in the Montlake neighborhood. Director James Longley will present parts of his award-winning documentary film "Iraq in Fragments" and this will be followed by a discission with Rep. McDermott.

I'm going, because I'm curious what sort of "Artists for McDermott" event is respectable enough to get the McD people's blessing and sponsorship (unlike ours, "UnCaged Cabaret"). One thing is certain--no bellydancers will be featured!

At that event I would like to give Jim the DVD of "Uncaged Cabaret" as a representative of Citizen Artiste.org. I dropped off the $1500 check last week.

If you want to attend, the link below is for Brown Paper Tickets. The minimum donation is only $35.

Next time we get together I expect to see a Lot of HAPPY FACES!!
