Tonette's nausea inducing event Wine and Wickets put on in order to renovate the Governor's Mansion (the run down shack that it is) brought out a protest to the doorstep, both front and back, of the Governor on Thursday. I was there out on the water. A chilly day, and a chilly reception for Scott and Tonette.
My brother and I arrived to a flotilla of around eight or nine boats close to 5 pm. By the end it was around 16 boats. Chants of "Recall Walker" were strong. Plenty of pot shots shouted to the bourgeoise crowd milling around taking in the view of civic discontent. I kept trying to get someone to shuttle out a glass of Chardonnay, and a nearby boater was insistent that he wanted some pot roast. All to no avail.
The crowd looked pretty stuffy and pretentiousness was as thick as the sweater vests. The Queen's court looked like they were watching the Governor's grass grow. The most excitement likely came from taking in the rebukes of the protesters. Queen Tonette's address to her court was roundly booed with zeal from the flotilla.
I just wish I could hold a fundraiser to fix up my house. I linked to video I took here.
