Two Events for Progressive Political Junkies

Two fun events next week await all of you who love politics so much that you actually consider political events a social occasion (I'm one of those people). Though I won't be attending either of these, I pass the information on to you.

Your first opportunity for fun is the Ballot Measure Roundtable, part of the Candidates Gone Wild event, next Monday night, Oct. 16 at 7:00 pm at the Roseland Theater (cost: $4). Here's the description passed on from Patty Wentz of Our Oregon:

On Monday night Steve Novick and I will be going up against the forces of darkness in a wacky and wild "Ballot Measure Roundtable." For those of you who have never been, Candidates Gone Wild is a crazy game show of an event with candidate talent shows, multi-media presentations, high hijinx and many surprises. It's a great way to get to know the candidates up close and personal. (For those of you who like that sort of thing.)

This year's special guest is Storm Large. And this year for the first time they are including a ballot measure event and Novick and I have been tapped to speak for Oregon's progressives. We aren't sure yet who is speaking for the other team, but we know that the dark side will send someone equally insidious to speak for the bad ballot measures that have been put forth by those who would destroy Oregon for their personal gain.

The second fun time awaits you at Governor Kulongoski's campaign office on Tuesday night, Oct. 17, when you can join other Kulo-supporters and watch the Governor kick Ron Saxton's sorry ass (well, you can always hope) in a live televised debate. The place to be: 128 NE 7th in Portland. The campaign will be serving free beer and pizza.
