Taking the Campaign On the Road

Hello folks!

I'm writing this sitting in the Delta terminal at Chicago's Midway Airport, as I begin the first and only UGM campaign tour.  I'll be making stops all across the greater Pacific region of th US. If you live in Salt Lake City, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Petaluma, the Yosemite area, or Lake Tahoe, pay attention, the campaign will be in your area soon!

The highlight of the trip for me is a stop in the heart of the Tech universe, the TWiT Cottage on Sunday, June 14th to watch a live broadcast of TWiT! I'm super excited to finally meet Leo, Colleen, and Dane in person. I'm going to try to rent a bike and ride it the 40 or so miles from downtown SF to the cottage (stopping only to rest and tweet). So keep an eye out on Sunday to follow my progress.

I have no idea who Rudy Warnock is

 

Here's a general itinerary for the trip:

6/4 - Mid-Day: Chicago

6/4 - Evening: Salt Lake City

6/5-6/6 - Seattle, WA

6/7-6/9 - Olympic Peninsula, Olympic National Park

6/10 - Afternoon/Evening - Portland, OR

6/11-6/12 - Redwood National Forest

6/13 - San Francisco, CA

6/14 - Petaluma, CA (Yay!)

6/15-6/17 - Yosemite National Park

6/18-6/19 - Lake Tahoe, CA

6/20 - Salt Lake City ---> home

 

Not a bad trip eh? I'm all decked out with camping gear, and campaign buttons (I wish). Drop me a line on twitter if you'd like to arrange a meet up at some point... I'll buy you a beer and do my best to convince you to get all your friends to vote for me for UGM.

Much more to come from me, and this will be the general hub... Or check out my FriendFeed for an aggregate of up-to-date info.

Pssst. Dude, you're trying too hard and being annoying. It's a turn off.
