Casual Soapbox

Casual Soapbox is a blog, the purpose of which is to provide me with a venue to expound upon politics, popular culture, religion, humor, and any other topic that boils my blood. I'd love to say I have big plans for this site, but I don't, except to bloviate pompously, deprecate myself and others, practice my verbal skills, and pathetically imitate popular people I admire. So, if any of that appeals to you, this blog's for you!

TX-HD-047: Another Candidate Forum Tonight

There's another candidate forum where you can meet the pack of hopefuls running for Terry Keel's seat in November at the Southwest Hills Community Church at 6 pm tonight. Caroline Shearer (an acquaintance of mine from way back... and who I've probably known longer than any blogger) has more at her fabulous blog, Candidly Caroline:

Texas House District 47 candidates will face off in a Candidate Forum hosted by the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods and the Hill Country Alliance this Thursday, February 16 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Southwest Hills Community Church, just West of the Y on Highway 71.
Scheduled to participate are Eric Beverly, Valinda Bolton, Alex Castano, Terry Dill, Jason Earle, Royce LeMoine, Rich Phillips, Dick Reynolds and Bill Welch.
The first hour of the Forum is "Meet and Greet;" the last two hours are question-and-answer format, with written questions allowed from the audience. The Forum is open to the public and free.

Alas, I will not be able to attend. It's too bad. I desperately want to give Democratic candidate Jason Earle another chance to impress me, since he really didn't at the Sunset Valley candidate forum on Saturday. But unfortunately I have more pressing matters. My partner and I have plans for a belated Valentine's Day dinner at European Bistro in Pflugerville. We haven't been there since last day-after-Valentine's, and we're really looking forward to it. Excellent, excellent schnitzel. Mmmm... schnitzel...

Wow that's great! Much higher turnout than the one I went to. I guess people are paying attention after all!
