It's Good to Know People - Finally!

They always say that it's all about who you know. And I firmly believe this is the case in today's world no matter how hard you work or how good a person you are in, unless you are incredibly lucky, you better know someone to get your foot in the door. I think this is part of my problem in finding a new job, but I'm working on getting my friends in good places to keep an ear out for something to turn up! ;)

However, I finally know someone that has the connections to get me something. One of my good friends from college, who was also a bridesmaid in my wedding a month ago, lives in Washington, DC now and her boyfriend works in DC for a local Dallas politician. So this morning when I found out that President Bush was going to be attending a victory rally at SMU tonight, I figured it would be good to give her a call and see if she knew how we could get tickets since my phone calls to SMU and the Republican Headquarters had yielded no results. And she came through - Bobby found us two tickets so Austin and I get to go tonight and see President Bush! Definitely a cool thing I have to say although I think Austin is the one that could nearly burst with excitement. So I will be exiting my dance class a bit early tonight to go pick up our tickets and head to see the big man talk on the eve of election. Pretty cool thing considering it's a once in a lifetime event. And at least a good memory for my mind and hopefully scrapbook (we're going to try to find out if they will let us bring in a camera).

So anyways, I thought I would let the world know that I have FINALLY known someone that has gotten me into an exclusive event. It's about time! I will surely update tomorrow on how it was and my thoughts on the whole thing. I figure since I can't vote for the man since the conspiracy against me has made my absentee ballot disappear, I might as well go see him and give him my vocal and warm body support! :)
