Show Preview: Brackett & Co., Real Estate
A new group in Austin called W.O.R.D. (Women Organizing to Revive Democracy) is throwing a bash tomorrow evening in support of Chris Bell. The event will feature appearances by State Rep. Donna Howard, slam poet Genevieve Van Cleve, and Liz Carpenter’s Yellow Dog Democrat mask. The goal is to provide a place for local Democratic women to gather, learn more about Chris Bell, and hopefully rally behind him. So break out of your Perry-induced coma and head down to Scholz Garten!
The Get Out Of The House! Party (in support of Chris Bell)

What: The Get Out Of The House! Party in support of Chris Bell
Why: A couple of weeks ago, we started wondering why we weren't hearing anybody talking about Chris Bell. We ourselves were hesitant, afraid to get back into the political game after the six years Austin's been through. But there is too much at stake this year to let the Republicans demoralize our party. They can redistrict our city, but they can't redistrict our hearts.
We decided to throw The Get Out Of The House! Party so all our friends could feel great about voting for Chris Bell. Certainly, his performance in the debate last week demonstrated why so many of us are impressed by him, enough to tell our friends considering "protest" votes to get real and vote for Bell. It's a horse race, and we want to do everything we can to see Rick Perry out the door.
So join us Friday at the party--it's going to be a revival meeting, a political rally, and a support group all rolled up into one delicious Democratic sandwich!
When: Friday October 20th promptly at 5:30
Where: Scholz Garten 1607 San Jacinto Blvd (Parking should be available at the state lot and on the street)
Who Else Is Coming: State Representative Donna Howard, poet and activist Genevieve Van Cleve, writer Spike Gillespie, special musical guests, Liz Carpenter's Yellow Dog Democrat mask, and lots and lots of fantastic women from all over Austin.
