Journeys with Johnny: June 2008
http://journeyswithjohnny.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2008. The District Sleeps Alone Tonight. I finished up the call and got up and talked to the Senator for a few minutes. He was really excited about the survey and thankful for my help. Real friendly guy. Naturally, I seized the opportunity to get a picture with him. I'm going to get Norm to sign this one. Some other interesting things:. Some Senators celebrate the summer solstice each year by dressing in seersucker (for more details, read this article. Thankfully, this video wasn't produ...

Journeys with Johnny: Such Great Heights
http://journeyswithjohnny.blogspot.com/2009/07/such-great-heights.html
Sunday, July 5, 2009. A lot has happened since I last updated, so here we go! That day was also the day where the Dairy farmers' lobby had their annual Ice Cream party. They rent out a park across from the Russell Senate Office Building and hand out hundreds of bowls of ice cream and root beer floats. I grabbed two bowls of ice cream (coffee and mint chocolate chip) and a root beer float. SO GOOD! Who says all lobbyists are bad? Here are some pics:. What I ended up taking. This past week was recess week;...

Journeys with Johnny: I am a visitor here; I am not permanent
http://journeyswithjohnny.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-am-visitor-here-i-am-not-permanent.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. I am a visitor here; I am not permanent. Pics from my journey thus far:. What I love about flying into Reagan-National Airport is that you fly over landmarks as you're about to land. Here's the Pentagon. Ben and I decided to show our love for America at the DC Memorial Day Parade. The Groves Marching Band was there! My favorite building in the world. Takes my breath away every time. Me, Jeff and Ben at the Tigers game. I see a resemblance . Even prettier at night. .

Journeys with Johnny: But that was when I ruled the world
http://journeyswithjohnny.blogspot.com/2008/07/glad-hand-high-rollers-for-little-bit.html
Friday, July 25, 2008. But that was when I ruled the world. So now let me explain this exhibit in the atrium. Senator Patrick Leahy is the senior Senator from Vermont and Chairman of the Senatre Judicary Committee (he also has a cameo in The Dark Knight ,. Would they have fired me from my unpaid, non-Senate job? Would they have escorted me out of this public building? After this pic, I went around the room again looking at more pics. Ran into Debbie Stabenow and did the whole "Do you remember me? Include...

Journeys with Johnny: June 2009
http://journeyswithjohnny.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. I'm still a rock star. It's been awhile since the last update, so I probs should give you all an idea of what's going on here in DC. I've been working on meeting legislators as well. Last week I ran into Sen. John Ensign, who I worked for last summer. I reminded him that I worked for him last summer at the NRSC and we had a brief chat. Clearly he remembered me. If you look closely, you can see the name tag coming off me and sticking to her. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Ben and I...

Journeys with Johnny: ...and we're back!
http://journeyswithjohnny.blogspot.com/2009/06/and-were-back.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. After a year-long hiatus, I have returned to document my adventures in the District! 160;So she stopped by and gave some remarks. That was cool. Also, I got my dinner covered, which was nice. Me: "How ya doin', Rev. Jackson! Me: You enjoying the hearing? Because I couldn't think of anything better to say). Then we walked back into the hearing room, which was cool because it looked like I was walking in with him, like I was part of his posse or something. So that's my time in DC...

Journeys with Johnny: July 2009
http://journeyswithjohnny.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2009. Proud to be an American. Fourth of July in DC is always an exciting experience (except dealing with the masses of tourists who converge on the city). You've got the excitement of being in the capital on America's birthday, you have the parades, and, most importantly, you have the fireworks. What could be bad about that? Here are some pics from the day:. Benny and I claiming our spot. Great view of the Washington at night. Happy birthday, America! But of course, I can't think of t...
