Kelly and Joe

Friday, September 26, 11pm

Only after the end of the debate did we stop to think, after what had been an incredibly busy and rewarding day. And we quickly realized that we had no bed for the night and faced sleeping in our car for the first time.

It was then that Kelly and Joe, two guests at the Richmond debate party kindly offered that we stay with them, about a mile up the road.

On route, we stopped to buy them some ice cream and beer to say thank you, ignorant at the time to the fact that Joe cannot drink beer. Or eat ice cream.

Nevertheless, we had a great evening, sat out on the porch in a folksy, studenty part of Richmond, discussing the Obama campaign and what Drive for Obama is trying to achieve, and speaking about the differences and similarities between our two home countries, Britain and the US.

It was a privilege and a pleasure to sit out for 3 hours with Kelly and Joe, and they are joining us this afternoon on our jaunt up to Fredericksburg, VA, for the Obama-Biden rally this afternoon, which we’re all really looking forward to.

Our pleasure. Also...could no one have warned me how grave I look in that previous photo? Too funny. And now, shameless self-promotion:
