I'll be phonebanking and streaming video from the Teamsters HQ

As y'all know, babysitting in the city is rather expensive. I had the kids with me all day yesterday and instead of capitulating I brought them with me to the Teamsters' HQ :

Teamsters Local 237
216 West 14th St.
btwn 7th and 8th Aves
New York, NY 10011
Sun noon-9pm
Mon 10am-9pm
Election Day 9am-9pm

If you are in the 14th Street area, send in your RSVP.

The kids helped with picking up all the callers' paperwork and taking it to "the lady with the computer", so she could process the information on their central database. They also streamed some videos and did some interviews. You can see the fruit of their labor at the culturekitchen channel on Qik.com.

The kids actually were helpful and they ended up training a couple of kids who came in exactly as we were leaving. So if you have kids ages 8 and up, taken them with you to volunteer. There's plenty for them to do.

Tomorrow I'll spend all morning at the Obama HQ. See you there!
