Cruising south on 29 early this evening, with the windows downand the sunroof open, American Woman came on the radio. I cranked it up. I was on my way to JenTerrasa’s reception at the Corner Stable Pub in Kings Contrivance.“American woman gonna mess your mind”
This was the first time I’ve attended a Jen Terrasafundraiser. That, in and of itself, is not surprising. I supported her opponent in the last election. She ended up kicking his butt.
“American woman she gonna mess your mind.”
The Corner Stable was packed and not with just the usualHoCo loco politico suspects either. Rank and file citizens filled the roomalong with an impressive turnout of the loco Dem power structure. Dem councilcolleagues Mary Kay Sigaty and Calvin Ball were there but Courtney Watson wasnot. Jen’s council seat predecessor, Guy Guzzone, acted as master ofceremonies.
Courtney wasn’t there because she was also having a Wine Womenand Watson event tonight. I don’t know who scheduled what first but HoCo isreally too small for two politico fundraisers in the same night. A couple ofthe ladies I spoke with this evening were bugging early on the Jen jamboree todash across town to wine with Watson. Others, including at least one loco elected Dem told me they wouldn’t have wined with Watson even if it was the only loco politico event this evening. Ouch!
“Colored lights can hypnotize, Sparkle someone else's eyes”
It wasn’t just Dems at Jen’s party either. Former Repubcounty exec candidate Steve Adler was there. His Savage Mill development is inJen’s district after all. Steve was leaving as I arrived but he had a greatparting quip. “A Dem fundraiser and a Jewish Federation dinner in the samenight, all I need now is a root canal.”
“You're no good for me, I'm no good for you”
I also met Jackie Scott tonight. Jackie is one of the goodcandidates running for school board. She’s even better in person than she is in writing.
In her remarks, Jen talked about the role she’s played in helpingto reinvent the Columbia village centers. She’s a geek for zoning and I find that oddly attractive.
“Go, gotta get away, gotta get away”
All in all it was a nice turnout tonight for the two termcouncilperson. I’m glad I went. It won't be my last time either.
