I thought if I went over to Chris Bell's campaign office today that they'd put me to good work the day before the election. Instead, the volunteer manager (who looked like a sad, wet cat) lamented her complete lack of signage and had to think hard of even an hour's worth of calling for me to do. Another worker described the atmosphere as the "last day of school."

Such things do not bode well for any sort of impact I could have volunteering locally.

So, tomorrow I'll spend as much time as humanly possible (we might have a meeting and rehearsal to deal with... inhuman!) at some house near UT doing the callforchangething, calling targeted races. Anyone want to join?

This is the only way I can deal with the stress of elections; volunteer to do some boring job during the day, then get absolutely smashed and watch the results come in.

Best place in town to watch the election results tomorrow night happens to the Carousel Lounge, where there will be live music, improv comedy, and possibly a TV on mute in the background.

No cover and the beer is cheap.

My name is Wesley Bain and I support this padded message.

Wesley Bain says he's for no cover charge and cheap beer. Wesley Bain says the best place in Austin to watch the elections is the Carousel Lounge, where there will be live music, improv comedy, and the possibility of a mute television to let you know how the voting is going.

But what Wesley Bain isn't telling you is that he's against Ukranian Migrant Improv Comedy being used as research for terminal illnesses. Wesley Bain also hates pants. Anyone who is against pants is against America.

Don't let the terrorists win. Tomorrow night, go to the Carousel Lounge, and let Wesley Bain know you are against anyone who is against pants. Then make him do a scene about the Grand Dutchess Anastasia.

Love America, love your pants.

When we had the Phoenix people in town, we went to the Carousel. Stacey asked the bartender if it was legal to bring her kid in. The bartender said that not only could she bring the kid in, but that Stacey or the kid's father could actually serve alcohol to the little ankle-biter.

Though I'm sure child services might have a conflicting law, that shows how much the TABC is messed up.

One of the many ways that Wisconsin is way more civilized than most other states is that minors can (could?) drink in bars if accompanied by their parents. The ability to get shitfaced while underage is balanced by having your parents there. Better that kids learn to drink responsibly in public before they learn to drive.

Of course, there are so many bars per capita in Wisconsin, there's really no reason to drive to one. Another crucial bit of civilization the Bible Belt totally misses out on.

My friend invited me over... I'm going to be depressed when we lose and we could all use the moral support.

Perhaps I should have included that their kid is about 3 years old and, yes, she did mention that to the bartender.

Me too! Mostly just for the sticker, though. Chicks dig those.
