Have I mentioned how great it is to be in New Hampshire for the primaries?

We had 3 Clark events on Saturday, so we were out of the house at 6am to put up tons of road signs and do event setup. The weather was a balmy 20 degrees, which is actually pretty warm compared to the temps of the past few days.

Event #1 - Pancake Breakfast

See that apron Clark is wearing? Yeah, we took turns trying it on the night before the event...

The pancake breakfast was held in downtown Laconia at the Belknap mill. Around 300 people showed up to enjoy some pancakes and ask General Clark some questions. Before Clark spoke to the crowd, he did the obligatory flipping of pancakes for the press in the kitchen. After Clark made a few pancakes, he offered them to the volunteers and members of the press that were in the room. It was great...I was served pancakes by the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Now how many people can say that?

Mmmm...pancakes cooked by the General.

Event #2 - Town Hall Meeting

The next event was a "Conversation with Clark" at the Holderness Central School.

Over 500 people showed up to the school (which is literally in the middle of nowhere) to watch "American Son", listen to Clark speak for a few minutes, and then ask him questions. Prior to the event we were out doing some visibilty so people could find the place, and I was standing off to the side of the entrance to the school building greeting the attendees and propping up one of the Clark 4x8 foot signs, when I noticed that General Clark and his entourage had arrived. They were heading towards the entrance when Clark made a detour and came over to shake my hand and thank me for my work. I love Clark...what a guy! The event itself went very well...I've heard Clark's stump speech so many times that I can practically recite it.

Event #3 - All-America Day Rally

The final event was the All-America Day Rally, which reminded me a lot of a high school pep rally, except this time we weren't cheering for the Aztecs - we were cheering for General Clark. Over 2,000 people packed a high school gym to listen to Michael Moore speak about why he is endorsing Clark, and then hear from the General himself. The rally was awesome...it was great to see so much energy in one room, and Moore did a great job of firing up the crowd. Afterwards, Moore autographed my Clark04 sign, so I've got a pretty cool souvenir from my time in NH. I also got to see Chad, Marcus, Jon, and Amy, which was cool.

OK, back to work...
