I'm hosting a party the night that Kerry's speaking at the convention. I've never done anything like this before and thought maybe some Kossacks could offer some pearls of wisdom. I'm cooking baked ziti and other Italian fare to lure attendees - other than that, I don't know. Some thoughts I had:
- putting together a little handout guide to key Senate and House races across the country is probably a good idea since most of the people I invited don't know much about them. Or maybe that's a bit much, and I should concentrate on the Kerry campaign? Maybe do up a little guide to the issues instead?
- how aggressive should I be in soliticing donations and having people fill out the volunteer cards? Any particularly graceful way of doing that?
- any other troubleshooting advice?
Of course, all Kossacks are invited. Here's the link to my party - it's in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY.
