No More Bush


No More Bush

Just came back from Hustler Hollywood. This place is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee shops. The crew is pretty friendly, there are always available seats, parking is plentiful and not timed - all in all, it's a good place to hang out, even on Saturday nights. Sometimes, they even hold events in the book section downstairs, and today was no exception. I've learned that the trick to observing the festivities is to grab the table just outside the window behind the velvet couch. Two weeks ago, it was an adult film promotion, this weekend it was a political event. Yes, ladies and gentlement, even the porn industry is rallying together to stop the re-election of the Shrub. The "No More Bush" girls had their tongue planted firmly in cheek when they threw together a poster-signing/rally at Hustler's Hollywood store. Not even the pouring rain could stop the throngs of well-hung (with camera equipment) Kerry supporters/amateur photographers. This is the shot of the poster they were signing, at $15 a pop. Apparently, supporting Kerry can cost you - in more ways than one.
My only disappointment - not seeing my favorite reporter, Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing/NPR, covering the event. That space flight must have really had an effect on you, Xeni - no more covering the eclectic beat around town?
