Whew. Well, I'm here. I took Amtrak down here, and while I love trains, the American train system offers few options in terms of scheduling for infrequently traveled routes.
Which meant a 3am train out of Penn Station for me. Fun! But I finally made it to the Mason Family Compound at around 2pm and unpacked in my room.
But no matter, I got here. I was on essentially no sleep, so I went down to the Virginia Beach Obama office (which is on the Boulevard, near Rosemont) to check in and then went home to crash.
Lots of activity there. People walking in off the street to register, as well as people phone banking and the field directors and organizers planning out stuff. And it wasn't even particularly bustling, as a lot of folks were out on the streets canvassing.
If you're nearby and want to help out, come by the office! There's always someone there.
Let me rephrase that, if you're nearby, you NEED to come help out. Stop by. Here's a map.
And if you're not nearby, volunteer wherever IS nearby. There's no excuses for not pitching in this year.
Off to bed, first day of real work (for me) is tomorrow. I shall cast a long shadow of volunteering on my hometown
P.S. As always, buy me a virtual beer if you like.
