In continuing my role as amateur documentarian, a role I accidentally (but gladly) was saddled with in yearlykos, I took my trusty Canon SD400 camera down to see Jon Tester. Moreover, as I was acting boss of my department, I took off work early to go get some retail politicing/fundraising/drinking done with our boy the next Senator from Montana… Jon Tester!

Tester said it was the kind of fundraiser he liked and could afford. I agree with that! After some engaging Q&A and engaging beer drinking, we headed over to drinking liberally at Zeitgeist… where we proceeded to do exactly that.

As always, there’s more, and if you like what you see, feel free to reco.
You can also see the whole gallery here.

Me and the next Senator from Montana, Jon Tester.
He’s a tall guy.
Also, guess where i’m from?

The next Senator from Montana, with the daughter of the Next Senator from Nevada, Sarah R. Carter.

Jon, chatting with the people, connecting, etc.

My two new pals visiting from NY. We talked about the difference between NY and CA politics, various races, etc.
Good folks!

I had just been singing the praises of Sarah R. Carter, when she walked in the door… that is serendipity friends!

Tack and his mustache, (the mustache didn’t have to pay)

believe it or not this was the best picture i could get of Markos, since he was pretty much constantly wrestling Aristotle. Sorry Kos!

Tester speaking with the people, his manner is easy and natural.

There was a Q&A period. I was impressed.

I asked “Jon, what are you going to do about Net Neutrality”, despite his protests and humbless, he knocked it straight out of the park, no two tier system, no pay to play, the net is our most valuable asset and it should stay that way.
