Eric and Spider Monkey Storm the Capitol, Part 3
Now the updates are coming a little more expeditiously. First, another scene-setter:
Tons of folks wearing yellow roses on their lapels. Looks like the world’s worst prom up in this piece.
And now, something a bit more substantive:
One more: Rick Perry made some awkward mention of the A&M chopper going down at the beginning of his speech. It brought the room way down and was forced and unnecessary. On the plus side, I stole a stuffed mushroom from the Welcome Joe Straus buffet. Tasty!
After the jump, a shot of who Eric and Lavin will be hitting Sixth Street with tonight.
Uncomforty.

Is that Celeste rallying?
“PROP. 8 ISN’T GREAT! PROP. 8 ISN’T GREAT!”…[later on]…”WE HATE PROP. 8! WE HATE PROP. 8! WE HATE PROP. 8!…”
Should mention that I am wearing a borrowed coat and tie. I didn’t pack well. Thanks to Austin Pete for the sartorial solid.
Are mesh or half shirts forbidden in the capital?
Gay shirts are encouraged, as are mesh pants.
When I have to visit the Capital I reach for my cod piece. Wait… that did not come out right.
You got to attend opening day of the session, and this is the best update you could muster? You ate a mushroom? Nothing about the speaker race. Nothing at all.
Straus is the new speaker. Feel better erm?
Good thing you lost the weight, Eric, although it did rob us of a “fat guy in a [Austin Pete] little coat” moment.
