There is a meeting being held on St. Paul campus at UofM by my rep in the state legislature. It is about the current state of affairs in the area. I very much wanted to attend.

BUT...

There is no where to park that is anywhere near the place. The lots that are designated for public use are too far away for me to walk today, thanks to my decrepit body being even more decrepit than usual today.

SO...

I guess I don't get to attend. I cannot risk my car being towed. AT. ALL. I cannot walk those distances today. (Probably for the next few days if things go as they usually do. Filthy apartment and all I can do is sit and fume.)

FUCK.

EDIT: You know, I did not mention the district. It is for 66A.

1. Could you park further away and call Lyft?

[question everything]

2. Can you use Uber or Lyft? I have never used them and, of course, you have to pay..

3. It's good that so many are attending though.

7. I sincerely hope so.

This is the kind of thing that I have been saying needs to happen like daily.

(Okay, maybe weekly, but it needs to be constant and involve any reps not actively working on something in St. Paul to attend.)

4. There's not a video feed over some thing like...

YouTube, Facebook, Instagram...?

Check with the St. Paul Media Center at the College.

6. They do not mention such a thing in their emails but I will check.

Thanks!

I hope you are keeping warm and dry?

Found any milk or bread yet? LOL. (North Carolina joke there)

5. I need to add that I am completely broke or I would just Uber/Lyft there already. (n/t)

8. Uber donates much to republicans so use Lyft

9. I am going to try and find a stream of the event.

But, that will not tell me what I want to know, which is how do the people there feel about everything going on and what do they want to do about it. A politician giving a speech is a dime a dozen, but I wanted to see what the folks there were saying and thinking.

A stream is not really going to tell me this. But, I still want to see what transpires at this event.
