So,
last night was the SJP Rally at the Blue Gator. Yeah, I'm
starstruck. There was a HUGE line to get in. Luckily my friend
Julie was saving
a spot in line for me. Julie got
there at three o'clock. SJP was
due to go on at 5. There were girls at the front of the line
that had been waiting since NOON. They were only letting
300 people in. I'm glad they didn't bust me for cutting. I
can't help that I have a full-time job. It shoudln't mean
that I don't get to go support politics! Anyway.
So we waited forever. She was late, she didn't go on til
six. I was actually expecting a much longer speech. She talked
for less than ten minutes!!!! But it was fun.
She was wearing a cute white tshirt that said "KERRY" in
shiny silver letters, a black blazer that she took off pretty
quickly, an AWESOME "Vote" necklace, super cute
jeans, and... and... okay I will admit it. I TOTALLY forgot
to check out her shoes. That was like my goal of the night.
I hate myself. I just emailed this girl that wrote an article
for the paper and asked her if she happened to notice them.*
So perhaps there will be an update. ON with pics!
First, the LINE! There were an estimated 700 people in line.
Julie and I were about 200 people back, and this is the line
behind us.
Some asshat parked his ugly fat monster truck
in front of the Blue Gator, with a whole bunch of Bush signs
and this mean sign for SJP "S.J. PARKER WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN ATHENS COUNTY REALLY NEEDED HELP". Dude, she's been
making really awesome TV shows for me to watch. Give her a
break.
Finally, the rally. At the end, I pushed my
way up to the front. I was going to get her to sign my poster
but
when
I got up
there, she looked really stressed because all these screaming
girls were SHOVING their stuff in her face for her to sign
and I felt like an a-hole so I did what was more important
to me anyway. Took a ton of pictures of her!
*UPDATE! The girl who wrote the
article just emailed me back. Whew! Now I know what her shoes
were:
"Yeah, I checked 'em out. I wanted
to put them in the story, but didn't know
what designer they were from. It was boots, paired with a
cropped pair of
jeans.
Glad you liked the article! Thanks!
Lisa"
She didn't say what color the boots were, but since SJP
arrived in a black blazer, I think it's safe to assume that
they
were black.
