"I am thrilled to be here to support you because we really need you in Lansing. I know you came close last time, but this year we are going to have this surge, this wave of people coming out to support Democrats and I hope you all agree that it is time for a change in not only in Washington, but your support here allows for there to be a change in your representation in Lansing.

The Jettisons: Unplugged and In The Street for Dan Scripps

by: AikoAdam

Sun Jun 08, 2008 at 11:09:29 AM EDT

About 5pm on Friday night a major power outage interrupted service to about 2300 residents in Manistee. Unfortunately that included The Ramsdell Theatre, where The Jettisons we're scheduled to play their second of two benefit concerts for Dan Scripps for State Representative. After trying to contact the power comapany (to no avail) and talking to neighbors, the fast acting Manistee County campaign manager Rick Schrock and Dan came up with a plan....to take it outside.

The Jettisons played an acoustic trio set for about 2 hours, taking requests from the crowd. A good number of people stopped by to listen, watch the band, and talk to Dan, as downtown Manistee is a popular area for evening walks. This event was a unique way to engage voters.

Dan talked about how the power outage could have been a bad thing, but that together we were turning it into an opportunity to come together as a community and enjoy an evening as neighbors and that if we come together as neighbors in a situation like this, just imagine what we could do.
