A few weeks ago, some of the higher-ups in the Washington state chapter of the campaign were discussing who should introduce Obama at an upcoming local fundraising event. Suzanne's name was thrown into the mix because of the blog post Austin wrote. They called Austin to get some more information about her and eventually she was picked.
Today, Suzanne Black will be introducing Barack Obama at the Paramount theater. Dave Matthews will be performing as well. And the teenager will be there to take it all in. With his camera. Wearing his brand new suit that "he" bought to wear to prom.
Earlier this week, when he finally got the approval from the higher ups to be at the event, we had the following conversation.
Teen: I got approved! I get to go see the President again!
Me: Do you think you'll get a chance to meet him?
Teen: Maybe
Me: If you do, you better get a picture.
Teen: I'll try
Me. Um, no. There is no try. If you meet the president and there is not a picture to document it, I will not pay for college.
Teen: (LoLing) Okay! I'll make sure someone takes a picture.
Me: Good. Now get your head out of the clouds and go do the dishes.
