This just landed in our inboxes, and looks pretty damn fun. You got something better to do at 4:30pm today? I didn’t think so.

Just wanted to give you a quick heads-up. In just a few hours, there’s a group of Oregon Democrats and folks from Veterans in Action that are gathering to “welcome” Senator Gordon Smith and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) when they arrive at a fancy-pants $1000 fundraiser. Here’s the best part. The fundraiser is on a boat in the Willamette — and we’ve figured out what time they’re departing. It’d be fabulous if you could join the crew. Here’s the story: At 4:30 p.m., folks are gathering at the corner of SE Water and SE Caruthers. Here’s a map. From there, the group will walk one block to the boat dock. Questions? Call Adrian Rosolie at 503-522-1830.

Should be fun.

p.s. Bring friends!

Yep, a “flashmob” protest at the Portland Spirit docks. (Hopefully Smith and his Republican, pro-war buddies don’t read Blogtown, so we aren’t spoiling the surprise.) Ahoy!
