There’s no such thing as a free lunch
“Oh, and by the way. You are in charge of getting Mr. Nader lunch. He likes Lebanese food and fruit juice.” This is what we were told two hours before the Nader rally at UCSD that we were in charge of getting peeps in San Diego out to. When we got the call, we were in the middle of silkscreening our custom, “SD heart Nader” shirts. Neil went on an emergency mission for some Tabbouleh and Pita & Hummus, which was successful & well received by the Nader crew.
As you can see below by the standing ovation for Nader, there was a most excellent, to quote Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, turnout at the rally. More than 1/2 of the crowd were hearing Nader speak for the first time.
Nader was well recieved, Matt Gonzalez also spoke and people had fabulous questions. But, let’s face it… the shirts were the real highlight of the day. I gave a shirt to Mr. Nader while he was doing a book signing. Unfortunate timing because, he thought I wanted him to sign it & signed the ill fated gift. Luckily Nader’s “handler” caught it & said he’d give it to him later. Now Nader has the ultimate self-aggrandizing shirt. An “I heart myself” shirt with his own signature. Again, most excellent.
