So last weekend I went to an Obama Fundraiser hosted by my neighbors/classmates. It was at a vegetarian Indian restaurant (a whole new food experience for me) right down the street from my house. The food was amazing, lots of people showed up, and hundreds of dollars were raised for the Obama campaign through raffle tickets, donations, and the sale of homemade baked goods! I was really happy to be a part of it, going around to local businesses to (successfully, I might add) procure free haircuts, massages, and other things to raffle off. My roommate and I also made Obama Cupcakes to sell, and they were a big hit! Here are some pictures from the event. The first is of my neighbor and "adopted buddy" (long story) Ajla and Me. The second is of me and my friends Karolin, Ajla, and Drustva (and one other girl that I don't really know!):
Since I am now an official Obama supporter (via my hard-earned money). I'm now getting emails from the campaign. Mom - Obama is sending me emails too! I'm thinking about having a debate watch party at my house soon, so I'll post pictures here if it actually happens.
In other news, I recently bought tickets to see David Sedaris at George Washington University. I bought them through a local public radio station (represent!), so I paid more than market price, but it is worth every penny to me to actually see him live. The show is on Oct 4th, so I am counting it as an early birthday present to myself. Added bonus: My seats are in the first ten rows, front and center - the best seats in the house!

YAY! You are having many fun adventures it sounds like! I am happy to see you are getting some pictures up of the poeple you are meeting. I am looking at them very intensely and comparing them to how fun and amazing we are...hopefully they are half as cool! Just kidding (in case any of them are reading, I'm sure they are very fun and cool and nice!)
Thanks again for the picture collage! It was such a hit. Joe was obsessed with it from the second he saw it! We all miss you of course, but I'm so glad you are doing some fun things! I can't believe it's only been a month. It feels like so much longer!!
Hopefully we can talk soon...I MISS YOU!
Love,
Kristin
NOBAMA!!! Hehehe I couldn't resist! I'm glad things are going well for you. I really wish I had done something like you are doing before I settled down. You are just in an awesome part of the country that I've always wanted to visit. Maybe someday I'll mousy(did I spell that right?) over there and check it out. I respect your decision for supporting Obama... we'll see what happens though... it should be interesting don't you think?
