The Ron Paul Blimp

Props to the Ron Paul blimp. I noticed some posts you placed up on box we have been occupying for some time, the one on Laurel Canyon and Riverside. Thanks for not covering up '08 but adding to it.

I am not sure if I understand the blimp but kudos for trying something different. Blimps are a good way to catch attention. I remember as a kid my parents pointing out to me, "look there's a blimp" and sure enough there was a blimp, high in the sky and moving incredibly slowly. Nine times out of ten it was for Met Life.

I don't know? Me and that candiate make strange bedfellows . . .

Today was an odd day. What i thought would be a free day was spent at the West Los Angeles traffic court. I had to square away a fix it ticket. What should have taken five minutes took three hours and $25. Neon lights, bad Christmas decorations, and bureaucratic procedures are not a good combination. The best part of the day was the drive over there.

The Supulveda pass wizzed by as I listened to this weeks episode of This American Life. This week they explored friendships and how sometimes the most unlikely people become good bed fellows. It got me thinking, not just about the way i see my friendships, but towards the way i see life, and the decisions i will have to make in the near future.

All i have been hearing recently on public radio is Iowa this and Iowa that. I know, an important state whose results will help determine which candidates will move on in the election and which ones will not. But what i have gathered is that the results might be a crap shoot. While some people are up and others are down, no one is quite sure how it will all turn out. Which then got me thinking, "will i be placed in a position to vote for a strange bedfellow?" A person I might not think at first to have anything in common with, but later find to be a trusty companion?

I DON'T KNOW. At the moment i feel more confused then a post-op tranny waiting at a bus stop for Santa Claus.

Just some food for thought. Give it a listen, you'll laugh, you'll cry, maybe even have an epiphany.

"CHANGE" is all the political rage

In listening to Warren Olney's "To the Point" today on LA's KCRW radio station, political analysts talked about the battle for the term "change" in the Democratic primaries.

LISTEN HERE

Obama is gaining ground on his "Change" platform - basically a smug on the outdated, political rigidness of the Clintons.

Hillary responded by claiming her slice of the "Change" pie. She now calls herself an "agent of change," claiming she's got the experience to implement this Change.

But who really owns Change? '08ingchange does!! It's true, ask our lawyers.

No, kidding, YOU DO! You're the only real change that's possible in this election, and in our political and social futures. So take these candidates' vernacular with a grain of salt. Go out and vote, but vote on issues, not on their claim on words, metaphors or terms.

In '08, change is coming from the people, not the politicians.

'08ing hits SF

Good people of the City by the Bay: '08ingchange has landed.
In early December, a group of '08ing muckrakers threw up our beautiful paraphernalia all over the streets of this fair town.

Neighborhoods hit: north beach, chinatown, financial district, SOMA, mission, lower and upper haight, and more.

If you missed out, keep your cool. More '08ing subversive ad campaigns to come.
No city will be safe, no town left uncovered, no village unscathed.

Join us, help us. Bring '08ing home to your neighborhood - we make a great holiday gift!

As always, respect and love. And many thanks to the SF cats who helped make it happen.

the start of something special

Just a special little thanks for all those that came out to our "unofficial" launch party Thanksgiving evening.

There were familiar faces, their were new faces, there was also a BIG BUNNY face.

Also a special thanks to Pete Wheeler for laying down the tunes and getting everyone feeling funky and fresh.

More good times to come so stayed tuned.

Turkey Evening Bash

That is right. While most people like to use Thanksgiving as a day to eat, watch football, and pass out, '08ingchange has decided to do something a little bit different. DJ Pete Wheeler from the UK and DJ shitty pod will be spinning up some post turkey fun down at Bar 107 in downtown LA this thanksgiving evening. So why not escape from the family you came to visit to join the '08ingchange family for warm faces, cool drinks, and crazy random crap that will be thrown at you from above.

S.C.A.D Listen to this . . .

First and foremost it is official we are now addressing Southern Californians Against Dryer's in acronym form, S.C.A.D

Now onto other business.

I heard this piece on NPR the other day on my way to home depot. A short piece about clothes lines and how certain communities ban their use. I am already on the case to combine my small efforts in not using the dryer as a small way to curb my energy consumption with Project Laundry list, a group working to pass legislation on protecting our right to use clothes lines.

More to come on this front soon.
