With under two weeks to go to Election Day, I'm going to be setting up some auto-posting of catchy phrases to try to get people to go visit the CRZ for Mayor page. This is a gentle plea to please ignore me for the next 14 days if you're already super tired of my "campaign." (Otherwise, please feel free to Like/Share/Retweet! Oh, and vote - where applicable)

@Mike_Zeidler You're actually not the first person to say that, but I think it's just the magic beard

TWO WEEKS TO ELECTION DAY: As I previously mentioned, I headed out to the Greenway Building where The UpTake was taping three minute bios with any mayoral candidate who could show up. I COULDN'T show up last week, because I have a day job and they were working 11am-1pm, but they had Monday after work slotted out in quarter hour segments - I had 6:30, but had some good luck on Hiawatha and ended up pretty early - and LUCKY because I got to experience firsthand Wagner for Mayorï»¿, who was the first fellow candidate to not JUST recognize me, but run up and give me a good hug as well. He let me know he got a kick out of my "response" video which made me feel pretty good. He asked me what my gig was and I again regretted not being in a band. Anyway, Jeffrey's energy is infectious and I wish I had a few more minutes with him, but he had to dash. (He took a lot of photos, and I forgot to take any, so I'm hoping that he'll post one sooner or later.) I didn't get to ask the Columbia Heights question but I DID try to get him to reveal his age - a question he evaded.

Next up was the aforementioned Jimmy Stroud - this guy knows EVERYBODY (or at least everybody working late in the Greenway Building) and has a fascinating history working in Minneapolis, especially with the less fortunate. It's really a shame he didn't submit a Star-Tribune questionnaire (he did have an explanation) because I think he's someone a lot more people need to know about and his online footprint really hasn't come close to capturing his history helping out the city. He was very gracious in letting me get the photo I shared down there.

Dr. Bruyere was scheduled after me - he popped in during Mr. Stroud's interview, but left almost immediately after - I think he must have gotten an urgent call and had to run...or he just hates me and had to leave because he was sick at the very sight of me. (I'm KIDDING, Eddie! I was happy to see you again, even briefly, and hope all is well with you.)

So I did my three minutes, forgot practically everything I wanted to mention (stadium, money in politics) but the truth is, I'm not sure anybody's going to watch my video who doesn't already know me...but if they DO I did a pretty good job of repeating the Facebook link over and over, and there's plenty of background stuff here to fill in all the gaps I left. I'll link it (and all of them) when they're posted.

I've probably been very fortunate but in my travels (and possibly by avoiding the "Mayoral Council" meetings) I have yet to meet a candidate for mayor who I didn't enjoy talking to and personally like. I think I'd still make a better mayor than a lot of them (especially the kooks), but for a lot of reasons I really hope the voters of Minneapolis are getting a chance to know these folks as well as I have been over the past months and not just going by who's making it in the paper.

The UpTake is hosting a debate tomorrow - I believe they've invited the Big 7 (including Mr. Fine but excluding Mr. Cohen - or was it the other way around?) as well as Mr. Everett, if he gets back to them. I'll be home - or here on Facebook - or both.

In fact, as of right now, I have no more obligations, no more questionnaires or surveys, and am free and clear until Election Day, so I better figure out something to do (or beg you to invite me over) between now and then...
