Jack called us a few days ago to let us know that he was gonna run for governor of California. He said he was very serious and would take the job if he won. He may wind up getting marginalized in the media, yet it will be fun to see how much of the "fuck it" vote he gets.

Here is the link to what was reported on MTV.com

Subject: Fwd: friends of Jack Grisham for Governor

It's pretty funny that Jack is running and I see it as merely a publicity
stunt, but when you realize that there may be over 200 people on the
ballot, the vote could be so diluted that as little as 5% of the vote could
win the governors office! So, actually, he may really have a chance. Then
what would he do!?!?

Get a better job. Paying for my own insurance sucks. But I do it anyway. I'm sick and tired of hearing what the government can do for our legions of bad decision makers in life.

The only way to make this a reality is to raise taxes. No way!

Like...duhhh...on my part, YES, the show is this Sunday October 5th.

Yea, the 15 minute sets are a bit short, yet it's the only way to blast through 11 bands, should still be a killer show.

Not sure what happened, but Jack did not win?
He finished 37th out of 100 candidates.
Jack promised that we could drain the pool at the governors mansion if he won, so we are seriously bummed that a sess in that pool will not go down.

Anyhow here is a link to see what happened at the benefit show on Sunday
