Day 1: Gametime

This will be a blog about life.  Life, of course, has several aspects.  To keep things simple, this will be a blog about campaigning life.  Alexander and Alexander (to be referred to in the future as Al and Alex) would like your vote for president and vice-president of UGBC.  These fellows would love to keep detailed minutes of their every move to be posted here, but unfortunately there are only so many hours in a day.  The pair are so committed to spreading their campaign message to BC that already food and sleep have been replaced with the recharge station from Robocop.  Nevertheless, the blog will go on with updates from a campaigners point of view.  It will absolutely be ridiculous and full of useless anecdotes, but hopefully somehow these stories will tell the tale of just how dedicated these candidates and their campaigners are to seeing a better BC.

Today was day one of the campaign.  Following a midnight kickoff and banner hanging marathon, BC awoke to expertly hung red banners and a sea of red shirts.  If you didn't see the sea of red shirts, you just weren't looking hard enough.  Try harder.  In other news, these red shirts gathered for lunch and dinner at lower.  Much praise to BC dining for the great table cloths and glitter confetti that got in my soul food.  These meals will be repeated throughout the campaign, so please stop when you see red (see what I've done there, where the shirts symbolize a red light?) and share a completely non-awkward dinner with the candidates to find out more about how they want to help you.  They're very excited to talk about their platform, and its not well known but one of them is quite a magic aficionado and will show you a trick if you're very lucky.

Good night, and good luck (yes, Ed Murrow used to say this, but he got it from me)
