…As I finalize my trip to Atlanta to take a peek at Ga-4 and the Liz Carter Campaign.

My plans for the week are not in stone, as I ‘m staying with friends and a family that I haven’t seen in decades I’ll of course be wanting to do some catching up but that won’t keep me from the purpose of the trip.

I’m hoping to meet pols, bloggers, tea party members and the voters who will decide the primaries and the general election and give you an idea of it as well.

This fight is being repeated all over the country and hopefully my bit will give you a useful glimpse.

Since I’m going to be in Atlanta we ought to get together!

So far I only have a single day tied down (Thursday evening) so I would like to see if anybody would like to have a bloggers night at a local restaurant. Basically I would be doing my DaTechGuy’s field guide to bloggers interviews which each person who attends and we can have a bite to eat, some conversation and maybe even a bloggers roundtable for YouTube.

Anyone interested should either leave a message for me in comments or e-mail me and we will see what we can do.

And even if you aren’t conservative, stop on by, after all there is no reason we can’t enjoy each other’s company.

I’m checking the finances. I’ve raised enough to pay for the plane ticket and my pal Vinnie has already told me he would put me up for a week. With my first payment from Examiner.com I’m a tad short on the rental car and meals. I’ll see what I can do in terms of cutting costs but I’ve decided that since I can cover the basic costs I’m going to go.

I’ve finalized the trip and purchased the tickets. I’ll be getting there Sunday afternoon and leaving the following Saturday afternoon. I’m trying to get the details of my actual itinerary while I’m down there over the next day or two and arrange for a ride to the airport.

Normally as a conservative I wouldn’t go on the trip without making my price but I’m considering this an investment in persuasion. Can I persuade enough readers that this blog is worth a few dollars? This trip will hopefully help to do just that.

Of course if you want to kick in to DaTipJar I will certainly be grateful.

but thank you most kindly for the good wishes for the day. In that spirit here is a flashback 41 years ago

Way back in 1969


What a difference a few decades makes.

As for the GA-4 trip that she is alluding to I’m hoping to leave by the end of this week or the beginning of next week. I have a few details yet to work out yet. The funding is still a tad short. I’m still $830 away from my stated goal, but there are two options on this.

If you want to kick in for that trip, then by all means hit DaTipJar today and that will help me cover the expense.

If not I am planning something that I will be discussing in just under two weeks. If you want to hold out for that it is ok too. If you choose to hold out than consider my GA-4 coverage an advance to you on my part.

Update: You know you are getting old when you mess your Tip Jar Link. Fixed.
