We decided to stop listing media because it was clear the photo with explanation had been distributed widely.

The Bulgarian News Agency sent this photo out across the wire:


Beto Supporter Lauren Elizabeth Summerville snapped this and posted it on Facebook. 


Photographer Carlos A. Martinez caught me taking a break.



Many others snapped selfies with "Uncle Sam."

We're sure there was lots more coverage on TV and radio but we are not using a service to track this. Have you seen something we should know about? Let us know!

Monday Night at the Warren/Centerline Democratic Club

The Warren/Centerline Democratic Club welcomed me on Monday evening, September 9, where I gave a half hour presentation in advance of their business meeting. Everyone was very friendly -- and I was rescued by a professional videographer in the audience, Earl Clark. 



Earl stood guard at the video camera so I could perform without worrying about the video result. When possible I like to do some videotaping. I can use it to provide information to those who want to book 2020: The Musical. 

Members of the club are active with other clubs in southeastern Michigan and are working hard to make a difference. I hope to get to know Earl and his wife, Pam, better. We may even have the opportunity to work together.

A Warm Welcome from the Western Washtenaw Democratic Club

On Sunday, September 8, I had the pleasure of providing some entertainment at a picnic fundraiser held by the Western Washtenaw Democratic Club. The event was held at a lovely home on exquisite grounds. I felt like I was performing at a mini Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. Everyone was so friendly and I had the opportunity to meet a few people who were running for local offices.

Many thanks to Jennifer Fairfield who made this happen and Kristina Martin who took some great candid shots.

A Musical Romp

Marketing officially starts on Tuesday. The press kit was completed last week with the exception of a video. Video was completed yesterday and editing was done today. I just posted the video on Facebook and Linkedin. Sometime next week I will start posting it to political Facebook groups. The link will also be included in emails to theaters for booking and organizations that would benefit from using 2020: The Musical for fundraising.

The set for the video was a dark blue backdrop with a patriotic bunting. I purchased the bunting a month ago. It will work well for a simple set -- setting the stage for all the political songs.





You can watch the video at: https://youtu.be/Cv_ITzkxv-o.
