I'm goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact
The California delegation to the Young Democrats of America is starting to arrive in Jackson, MS today for three days of training, peer-to-peer discussion, and celebration of our amazing 2006 victories!
They've got a big banner welcoming us right off of the freeway into downtown, and the newspapers are abuzz. It seems our meeting is the event of the week.
Rachel and Rocky got here a day early to tour the capitol, and see the sights (including several civil rights landmarks). We had lunch at Peaches, in the Farish street historic district, and had some great fried chicken, and of course, peach cobbler.
Some have wondered what there is to do over the weekend here in Jackson. Well, on Saturday, the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra and the Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet will have a special performance called "A tribute to the music of Star Wars and Other Cool Stuff." Can YOU beat that? I didn't think so.
