There will be an opportunity to purchase some original signs painted by local artists (and some by, well, just locals  ) - a silent auction will run during the event. These were popular at the convention watch party!
And yes- this is one awesome poster. I want to frame one (or 2 or 3).

I was hoping this wasn't a political thread--just a sign-bashing party! 
Either way, sounds like a good time.

October 19th, on your calendar. From 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., you'll be entertained by some of the area's best musicians at the Seaside Amphitheater. Bring the entire family, spread out your blankets and lawn chairs, and spend the day. Local artists and artist wanna-be's are creating Obama yard signs, which will be a part of a silent auction. Specially done for the Bash videos will be showing in various locations. Big Blue Bash2 and Obama merchandise will be available for purchase.

go to waltondemocrats.org for more information about the event, volunteers needed, sign painting activities, baracktoberfest, etc.
exciting stuff happening right here in the hood.

Veterans for Obama
One "old soldier" who was part of the original Band of Brothers and 4 or 5 other "vets" will be featured in a specially edited video at the Bash. The Obama campaign is excited because the Panhandle is filled with retired military, and it is important that voters know many veterans support Obama. Vets will be able to pick up a "Vets for Obama" yard sign at the BASH.

Better take your checkbook, that one's going to be a bidding war. I hate that we have to miss it, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Please take pictures, take videos, but most importantly TAKE YOUR FRIENDS!!!

I like this from the Walton Democrats website:
Quote:
"It’s going to be a beautiful day filled with beautiful music in support of Barack Obama’s run for the Presidency," said Jennifer Steele Saunders, one of the volunteer coordinators.
"This is going to be a peaceful, positive event that is focused on celebrating our candidates and encouraging people to “Get out the Vote.”
" Even though it is called a Bash, there will be no bashing of Obama's opponent. We will be examples of the change we wish to see in the world."
|
thank you all for bringing this event to SoWal. Bringing the message of change and hope directly to Seaside, FL. no matter how the election turns out, we are blessed to have such a beautiful community. it is what matters most.

we were there for Dread and I can only say "wow". the concert was great, and the turn out was over the top. so neat to be out enjoying music, sitting on a blanket, watching the kids play and dance, and sharing our dream for a new tomorrow with many friends.
a great day. I saw some incredible signs too!

It was a truly amazing day, beautiful in all ways, including the weather. What a wonderful turnout & incredible event!
We had to cut out early, too, as little man was losing his mind. We omly get to see about 15 min. of Dread Clampitt.
I now have a daughter who wants to become a tattoo artist. BTW, all donations to the mini-tattoo artists went to the campaign!

"Wow" doesn't quite describe it. What an amazing day. I think everyone was confident that the Bash would be a success, but I think it surpassed everyone's expectations in a really big way! The amphitheater at Seaside was filled with people enjoying the great music, beautiful weather, and the positive messages. So many Democrats with huge smiles on their faces!
Some highlights were fantastic MCing by Kevin Boyle of the Seaside Rep, watching Mango and Goofer bidding on art signs, listening to Steeling1 rock it with Alice Bergeron and Marc Harris, speeches by several Veterans for Obama (I don't have their names right here), a rousing speech by Matthew Christ (future POTUS, and we can say we knew him when), great banners hanging off Sundog's, Bud & Alley's, and Raw & Juicy (Punz can paint a mean donkey), and seeing SO many friends, aquaintances, old and young people, tourists- WHAT A DAY!!!
I am not good at estimating crowds- but the 2 pm estimate was around 500, and peak was possibly double that.
I have ton of pictures to upload, and lots of people took pictures so I am sure we will be seeing lots soon!

I completely missed out on this event! Didn't know what it was until now. Saw some signs out and about but didn't connect the dots...
I guess that is what I get spending way too much time in the Politics forum and not enough here in the Lounge-
Special request-
Is it possible to double post Obama events and happenings (Lounge and Politics)???
So bummed I missed this!

Didn't it make you feel wonderful to see such a happy, positive, and diverse group of people in this area? I know sometimes I feel like our events are pretty homogenous. It was also wonderful to see so many people from NoWal down here for a political cause...
I  this event. Hats off to John R. We should do these every year!
Oh, and the t-shirts sold out around noon....but they are ordering more. Let DemoLady know you want one!

Everyone who attended the Bash are participants in great history in the making. I don't mean to be corny or hyperbolic but that is how I personally feel. No matter how small our involvement, we are eyewitnesses to history. Today was uplifting and made me so proud to be an American.

What a great event! I was there from 10am to 7:30pm as one of the volunteers. It was a priviledge for me to mix the sound for a bunch of killer artists and guest speakers. And Kevin, great job at the MC mic! I enjoyed it immensely. What a positive sensation to experience.
The event organizers did a wonderful job. All of you deserve a huge pat on the back for your efforts. I wanted to meet all of you, but my presence was required at the mixing console all day. Perhaps another day.
My personal thanks go to John R. (sorry if the sound was a little loud at times...old R&R guy at heart), Fritz, and Joey. There were only a few problems with some broken wires, but calmer heads prevailed and all ended well. Let's do it again some time.

Thanks to all of you who worked so hard to make this event memorable. Like Goofer said, this was history in the making and I was happy to be in such good company while witnessing it.
Some pictures.............
Miss Kitty gets her alien from Goofer
Loved this!
Amazing artwork everywhere!

Thank you for showing up at the silent auction "pay and grab" time. It's always one of the nuttiest parts of an event, but we had a great team! You have excellent timing!
I need to upload my pictures! No pinatas, so no pinata pictures.
We have some additional art campaign signs that will be available for purchase at the SoWal Democratic campaign headquarters on 98.

I concur with all of the above! What struck me was that if you didn't know there was a campaign going on, you would have thought it was just a great event for Americans to come together and be hopeful about the future. Kudos to the committee...y'all knocked this one out of the park!
Mango...perfect pics!
I heart Goofer. I stunned Goofer with my high finance abilities.  The aliens have landed at the Kitty Kondo. Goofer...you are the best!

This made me smile so big and reflects the feel of the event. Check out the dance moves. This child was precious.

I hope someone got a recording of Chris and MaMuse doing the Obama song.

Here is a video of Chris' song about Obama, which I found on YouTube.com. It seems as though there were several people taping it.

The perfect day
For a long time the Panhandle has been ignored by national Democratic candidates who assumed votes were going to conservative, Republican candidates. Milli Smith, with the Florida State Democratic Party, was completely blown away by the crowd, the bands, the enthusiasm. We're now on the map!
I've never been part of such a large group of volunteers who worked together so seamlessly and unselfishly. The volunteers, gently directed by John R. and Jennifer S., enjoyed every minute of their long day. On Sunday at the Big Blue Bash2, people from all over the Panhandle said change is happening, and we're part of it.
