For what it's worth, Oregonians.

If we really want to do the project of getting satirical arguments for or against ballot measures in the voters pamphlet for the November election, we don't have much time.

• The deadline for submission is Aug. 26.
• We'd need to raise either $500 or get 1000 signatures. Here's the form. Instructions are at the end.
• There are some seriously satire-worthy

I vote measure 58.
If you get someone to write it (may I nominate Christen), I will do what I can to raise money or signatures from a distance.

I'm willing to put up some money for that. But oh my GOD am I going to have to get liquored up to tackle that one properly.

psssss thanks

Is it safe to get that liquored up on Sunday night?

If you get something good, i think it's possible we can raise enough money. The time line's the trouble. (And then how do we get it there? Fax? I will have to recheck the form.)

talk on the sweater list so far has $200 in the pot, 'cause 1000 signatures before tuesday seems tough. no one's stepped forward to write yet, but Mykle might just be gestating something.

Did you/do you have a post about a pie party that I can't see? We'd been tossing the idea around on having one that same day!

Tossing pies? Cool!

Yeah, i have a pie party posted to my "PDX" group because it's SEKRIT. Or because i didn't want to be spamming people with invites for things they couldn't get to.

I figured it was something along those lines but couldn't prompt livejournal to tell me I wasn't authorized to view the protected entry. Chris is still on your PDX group, which is why I knew about your SECRET PIES!

Oh! a mole in the pies!
