Straight Outta Tucson! Green Party Annual meeting 2006

Hello all - as one of Iowa's delegate's to the Green Party of the US, I was privileged to attend the Green Party annual meeting in beautiful Tucson, AZ! Below are some photo images of that trip, and the sights of the meeting.

Our luxurious accomodations at the University of AZ



The grounds of the Univ of AZ campus:



The meeting room at the Historic Y in Tucson:



The courtyard at the Y, used for meals and delegates informal conversations:



GPUS Secretary and IAGP Secretary Holly Hart giving a report (sorry for the bad lighting-my poor camera skills!):



Along with hybrid cars parked outside, alternative transportation abounded *inside* the convention hall:



A peace vigil of Greens, sponsored by local activist group Women In Black (100 or so were there - very positive reaction from passers by!):



Yours truly helping with a peace flag:



Tucson was actually cooler and rainier than Des Moines during the convention:



Entertainment was provided by George Shrub, the singing CIA agent:



Yours truly giving the Iowa GP update to the meeting:



Who does the majority of the hard work at the national Green Party office in Washington DC? Its Emily Citkowski and Brent McMillan!

You should apply 'Straight Outta Tuscon!' as a caption to the photo of you holding the peace flag. Ice Cube should be so happy to know he is the music of the Iowa Greens.

Say, when will it be time to pull out my 'Northrop for Senate' shirt again? :D

I will be running for something in 2007 or 2008 - preferably local, and not statewide ;)

It may be more along the lines of "Northrop for Soil and Water Commissioner"

I'd totally wear a t-shirt that said that, too.

That was AWESOME! Grey Wolf's an O.G., yo. Although it should be "Straight outta Godfrey!" because that's actually where I reside and it flows much better off the tongue. Easier to go from an 'A' ending to a 'G' beginning.

that's why I deleted it- I couldn't remember if it was Godfrey or Alton. Nevertheless, it was, indeed, the bomb.

Ice Cube is by far one of the best rappers around.

And congrats for getting my veiled NWA reference ;)

Straight Outta Tucson

Yes, send these to "the national." Very nice photo series.

Rats, I was going to *wear* my Northrop for Senate t-shirt in Tucson but forgot to bring it. I'm saving it to spray paint over with whatever office you run for in 2007-08. (Advice: I'd go after anything with C-TIEC written all over it.... better news even than the Rainforest, caymen shooting in North Liberty - turns out there are *3* of them, now I really don't want to wade through the street when the drains back up - or the Swisher monkeys)
