Now that everyone is so jazzed up about the speech he gave yesterday, this is the Park Slope fundraiser for Barack Obama you won’t want to miss at Union Hall: Monday night March 31 at 7 pm.
That’s right, Union Hall, our venerable bocce court, cozy drinking spot, venue for spelling bee’s, grammar fests, all ages music shows and other quirky entertainment adventures is hosting a Barack Obama fundraiser on Monday night March 31 at 7 pm.
Location: 702 Union Street @ Fifth Avenue.

They promise to provide free hors d’oeuvres, discount drinks, inspirational speakers, and The Easy Tease.
Donations at the door. No dollar figure has been mentioned. But I’m guessing the suggested donation will be $25, $35, or $50. Larger checks will, of course, be welcomed. There will be computers on site where volunteers will be able to type in credit card donations.
Speakers include the very cool, the very interesting and eclectic James Bernard, who was cited on the 2007 Park Slope 100. A member of Community Board 6 and a
executive coordinator of the Project Forum on Race and Democracy, and
senior communications fellow at Policy Link. You launched the Source
and XXL, two hip-hop magazines, and have written about popular culture
for the New York Times, the Village Voice and Entertainment Weekly.
FYI, not all of your readers are Obama supporters and not everyone was “jazzed” up about Obama’s oratorical machinations to both distance himself from and embrace Wright at the same time. It might be nice if OTBKB could show a bit more balance in sharing information about both Democratic candidates, e.g., anti-war critic’s John Murtha’s endorsement of Hillary might have been a nice post to link to. Just a thought.
