We'll Strike Gold at Silver Falls

I leave for our midsummer retreat in about six hours. Rumor has it that we're going to Silver Falls, OR to hang out, tell each other what we think about the program, cuddle gently, and then play a bunch of schoolyard games. I'm most excited about kick ball. Kick ball is a gladiator sport.

Speaking of which, we got our faces stomped in playing kick ball against some hipsters on Saturday. It was supposed to be the death of irony, but instead it was the day that democracy cried. We had fun though. We should have beat them at tug-o-war, but instead we were all getting ready to go back to Bus Central (HQ).

Sunday i didn't register hardly any voters at the 3-on-3 tournament, but i did see a little kid wearing a Stockton jersey. He was a bad ass little kid. I saw another kid wearing Stockton shorts, but they were in no one way branded. That was less bad ass and more unfortunate. The tournament had a slam dunk contest with about half the people not knowing how to dunk. It was shit.

Today is not yesterday, so we fast forward, and i got a new phone today. That should be up and running proper like.

Also, i created a Flickr account for all of us PolitiCorps fellows to upload our pictures. There are quite a few up already, so you guys can take a look: PolitiCorps Flickr.

back to falling asleep... in bed.

p.s. while i'm out finding gold in Silver Falls i probably won't have any way to get a hold of anyone. no interweb. i'm exhausted..
