PHILLY (Loosely Related to The Philadelphia Phillies)

Not trying to dance on Juggs' grave here (that's left for shitty people and the Joe Rogan brosky Libertarian), but fucking sweet. 

I guess we find out if our seats/Pit tix are which on the 28th? 

Also is MSG notifications separate? I'm not hoping for them but want to know whether I was definitively shut out.

JP still not sure who I'm voting in the Senate primary but I doubt it'll be Lamb.

Respect. Yeah the way the local politicians have basically let him kiss the ring and not have any sort of democratic process to come to an endorsement has turned me off. I guess I'll vote for him in the General when it's not really a choice anymore. But hoping Kenyatta or Fetterman come out on top. Same goes for Shapiro. Not too keen on him, he basically maneuvered the party into not having a challenger.

Speaking of which - is your area up for committeeperson elections, or whatever the Delconians may call it? I'm on the ballot against two others (2 are elected to the position) so it should be competitive in my division. But I'm also lucky because my ward (as opposed to my old one where I was a CP, since I moved) is considered an open ward and has a process for endorsements. 

Yes, we have competitive committee person elections for sure.

Shapiro - such a politician on the lifetime political plan. It's fairly off-putting but yeah it looks like he can win it. Voting isn't hanging with buddies in a bar - it's a strategic choice to nudge the world towards your vision of what it should be and he's probably the best one for that. Not that we have a choice, as you note.

Re: that other guy you talked about, I share your feelings.

Nice! Are you running? I always liked the way Delco Dems did it - it's like a convention right and everyone votes in the same room in Media together?

I feel you, man, incremental change ...and maybe a death or two.

There is no way we allow Juggs to go empty handed. Life finds a way.

No not running. Delco Dems still have the Media meeting but it's mostly online now. Don't know how the city works but I'm sure it's a s*** show. LOL  I think I'm going to be treasurer for one of the candidates, which I have no idea how to do, but numbers and me, you know.

Ugh man, good luck! Same here - I was going to be Treasurer of our ward, but honestly that shit scares the shit out of me. You're personally responsible if anything gets fucked up. Like thousands of dollars in fines. My actual job pays me actual dollars to handle that kind of stress lol.

City is a shit show, indeed. It's all backroom dealing of the city committee, which is all the ward leaders getting in a room and doing what Bob Brady tells them to do. And then they get their money. City is broken up into Wards, then into divisions. People run for committeeperson to rep their division (2 per div), then they all vote on a slate for ward chair positions, with the top person being ward leader. There's 66 wards, something like 1700 divisions. I'm part of a group (actually many groups) that push for open wards to "open" up the process and make it actually that - more of a recorded, democratic process. Luckily, the ward I'm a part of - and running for CP in - is considered an "open" ward. Took a lot of work though, and with elections here again it's threatened to go back to the old ways.

Do you all know it's been 14 fucking years since they last played Camden? Starting to think the only plan for this show is to tailgate.

Jesus....I did get the confirmation email. Landed in the junk folder for my old email account that, I forgot, is still attached to Ticketmaster.

$304.95. Pit or reserved I guess?

Hey hey there we go brotha!

The Juggler said:

Did you guys also do the Verified Fan thing? 

I did. But only real reason for me to do it is to coordinate with friends to see that the rest of them get tickets grouped together. Coordinating with friends is the absolute fucking worst. We've been planning for nearly 4 months just to hang out on a Saturday night.
