John Edwards For President?


Last night, Rift played a Democratic Party fund-raiser that featured an appearance by possible presidential candidate John Edwards. The event was a backyard barbeque attended by only about 100 people. I assume they were of the "deep pockets" type. Anyway, the band played for a bit, then jumped offstage and had their picture taken with Edwards. Brad said Edwards gave a pretty good speech, mingled a bit, and ended up spending around an hour there.

You may notice Brad's new look in this pic. About a month ago, I buzzed his hair and he got his ears pierced. Why pierce his ears now?? His mother had always disapproved, and it took him this long to get up the guts to go against his mother's wishes. I told him that he's 38 years old, and if he wants his ears pierced, he's allowed.
