Spoke to bernie that night ... He was Tired from two weeks of bail-out hearings. His first words were "I'm not feeling very rah rah ... So you're not going to get a rah-rah speach!" I just love that man. If ralph Nader were that hard working and/or selfless ... I'd love him too. Ralph stole my cab once ... I chased him down the street ... "Champion of the lil' man huh?!?" 

Also ... The guitar went for 1000 the first time ... 800 the second. And it should be said ... Grace was the highest contributor of the night. It should also be said ... I've not been that excited politically ... Since my father told me in '70 ... That my name was on a list ... And I was scheduled to run against Al Gore. You of course noticed my name wasn't on the ballot ... I became a Yippie @ 8. Smoke ins ... Red paint on the pentagon ... Whatever it took  to get my name Off the ballot. An FBI file is a small price to pay. 

Was a great night though! And we left for a bar up the road where Matt was playing w/The  Eames Brothers! And all was well
