Tabling fun

Q: What has four legs and me sitting behind it this weekend?

A: A table for a pro choice organization.

I spent all day Saturday in lovely Somerset, WI tabling for NARAL at the Warped Tour and then all Sunday tabling for PCR at Pride. I'm pretty table-d out, I would say.

Warped was fun, I got to catch about 10 minutes of The Suicide Machines and I think I saw a bit of The Ataris. There were also some snippets of random punk acts. And of course the modern punk wardrobe is always of interest. Of less interest, the 15-year-old girl who was trying to hang on me. Mmmmm...illegal...

There were more than a few people at the show with mohawks. I realized what a lifestyle commitment it entails. You need a job (as many of the mohawks belongs to adults) where that's cool. You have to spend a significant time in the morning preparing your hair. And you spend a sizeable amount of your disposable income on mohawk maintenance products. But hey, these guys are really into punk music.
