Almost Famous

I know what you're thinking- no action for 2 weeks and then 2 posts in a short time? Well deal with it. When it rains, it pours.
As you may know, I'm working on a campaign for a state senate race in NYC. I won't say who its for, since I don't want to be a "liability". I know, all this cloak and dagger secret keeping crap today. Just call me Gossip Girl, bitches!
Anyway, this campaign stuff has been keeping me on my toes lately, I participated in multiple different events from Wednesday-Monday, from rallies and boozy fundraisers to press conferences and Meet the Candidates nights held by pissed off rich white people. Don't I sound important? Well I'm not, so don't get excited.
Anyway, one of these events was a Women's Issues Press Conference- I stood in the back and clapped at the appropriate times. But somehow, an investigatory journalist from a local print news outlet decided to interview me! And I actually made my hellacious soul-destroying tenure as a board member of the Women's Law Caucus sound good! (I focused on the charitable aspects and not the internal struggles and back-biting). Sadly, however, said intrepid girl reporter did not see fit to publish my interview or even quote me. Apparently my biting wit does not translate in one on one interviews. Luckily I did get to be on tv though! And I learned that my face looks terrible when I don't smile.
Lesson learned. I will never again not smile in public.
