I signed up to be part of a "street team" for Yes on 3, to recruit more people to make get-out-the-vote calls next week. I'd been going to do this yesterday, in Davis Square, but my building elevator was out of service, so I went to Downtown Crossing today.
That was uncomfortable--both because of the cold and because my knee hurt--and I didn't actually recruit anyone, or get through even part of a conversation with any of the passers-by I approached. I bailed after about half an hour of training and half an hour in the cold, and wound up walking down too many stairs because I got turned around (again) in Downtown Crossing, walked blocks out of my way, and decided I wanted to be in the T more than I wanted to find the elevator to the red line.
My current plan is to look at my calendar, compare with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude and adrian_turtle, and sign up for one or possibly two get-out-the-vote phone banks in Cambridge or Arlington, either next week or the weekend right before Election Day. But right now I am going to drink herb tea and make no plans beyond dinner tonight.
