Being tech support at Beef and Ballots Dinner

This past Friday, I went to the Erie County Democratic Party’s Beef and Ballots Dinner. We had a great turnout, and I am excited about the candidates! I thought that Barry Grossman gave a particularly good speech. I did a fair amount of visiting with folks. I ended up at a table with some folks who had been at the GLBT lobbying meeting we had had the night before, and also some friends who work at the Health Department.

After dinner, there was the usual presenting of the candidates. Cathi Zelazny, the party chair had a DVD that was running through a player to a projection unit. It was hooked up correctly, but there were a couple of controls. Fortunately, I was able to figure it out and since I was sitting up front, I didn’t even have to get out of my chair! I was worried about being too close to the candidates. (When you stand a real possibility of being able to count their nose hair, it is probable that one is too close.) There wasn’t a good place for me retreat while at the table, but I happened to get a call on my cell phone, so I had an excuse to duck out of the room. When I came back, I just sat at a different table.
