when i arrived at the 2nd obama campaign office in beaumont this morning, i found a room full of phones and volunteers, but no internet connection. gasp! they had just been donated this big office, but they didn't have the time to secure an internet connection. i have been in this situation many times, so the gears in my mind started to turn...i knew there must be a way...
we went out to do canvassing in a working class neighborhood for a few hot and challenging hours. mid day we stopped back at the office, and i walked down the street to a new cafe called "the barking dog coffee lounge". i grabbed an iced americano, and began chatting the with the owner (joey crawford, in the photo with his wife tanya, co-owner, and their kids). when he found out i was from portland, oregon, he asked me about stumptown coffee (my favorite!). and then i saw that they had highspeed wireless, and the light bulb went on. there now might be a way to get internet to the obama office! to be continued...
