Full Weekend Ahead

Full Weekend Ahead

When I was teaching, Thursday night was the de facto start of the weekend and here I am already looking ahead.

  • Joe Bolkcom's campaign kickoff tonight, 5-7, his place (728 2nd Ave.) Ride your bike, it's the Joe kind of thing to do.
  • Dave Zollo rocks the Ped Mall for free tomorrow night, don't miss it.
  • Break out the Spock ears for Trekfest in Riverside. Mark Nolte's parading; line up at 9:00 on River St. near People's Bank. My computer geek reputation has occasionally gotten my compared to Data. That plus I have a cat named Spot.
  • JC Dems throw a HQ grand opening a headquarters grand opening Saturday downtown from 1-3 p.m. Patty Judge is there.
  • Pass the Geritol: Rod Sullivan turns 40. Friends of Rod welcome at City Park Saturday afternoon 4ish.
  • Dave Loebsack's throwing a yard sign party Sunday 1-3 at four sites including City Park. "We will be serving Dave's famous sloppy sloppy Joes and yellow cake cupcakes (non uranium-enriched). "

    Register has a couple interesting notes this AM:

  • Iowa's Little Limbaugh Steve King is holding up Voting Rights Act renewal because he doesn't like voting en espaƱol.
  • Mike Whalen and Jeff Lamberti show their true colors and bring in Karl Rove.
  • Also, the Reg had an interesting column about Mike Mauro the other day. Quoting Republicans on his qualifications:

    "I've been working with Michael on elections a long time," Blair said. "Michael has forgotten more about elections and election law than Chet Culver ever knew."

    "If he wins," Blair said, "I expect him to be a very good secretary of state."

    Then he laughed.

    "But that isn't an endorsement."

    Oh, I don't know.
