the day cruz came to town.


cruz rocks

so i had to go cover bustamante's stump stop in oxnard today. for an appearance in the middle of a workday, he had a very respectable showing. he was good too. he had those folks in a tizzy in less than 10 minutes. every local pol was on hand to bask in the glow as well. oxnard's mayor actually "misspoke" (wink wink) and referred to him as "the governor". this got a huge reaction. all in all, given that my expectations were rather low, i was rather impressed. i had heard many times that cruz was neither particularly bright or very engaging. those folks were wrong on both counts.

anyhoo, i did stalk him for a photo or two after the speech as the pic above illustrates. i eventually got a pic of the two of us shaking hands but i have the worst half cocked smile ever in it. (also, the hangover is way more evident i think. thanks, julio.)

off to see hot hot heat. not my favorites, but a vast improvement over last week's ventura theater fare, queensryche. (c'mon, you remember them. think whitesnake with pink floyd pretensions.)
