So, I'm going to go ahead and make this short and sweet: I will be in Wakefild, VA tomorrow for the tried and true Virginia tradition known as SHAD PLANKING. Throughout the day, I will hang signs, drink beer, hob nob with politicians, drink beer, point at lobbyists and giggle, drink beer, talk politics, drink beer, cheer and boo, drink beer, and eat some fish. Some bony fish roasted on planks of wood. It looks like it is going to be a pretty good time.
If you aren't from VA, or you don't know what Shad-Planking is; well, don't wory about it, because I moved here 4 years ago and I just got the Shad Planking story in bits and pieces over the last 3 weeks. Essentially, the intro says it all, but you can check these links out as well:
this one,
this one, this one, or there's this one.
So is anyone coming out to Wakefield tomorrow? If not, if your state has something like Shad Planking, I would love to hear about it; sometimes we forget about all the little bits of politics, because the big stuff is...well, it's really BIG.
