Mayor Reports From Presidential Conventions

Mayor Reports From Presidential Conventions

The Julian Mayor reports he is privileged to have represented Julian as an independent in witnessing the nomination of the next president of the United States, because he attended both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. He reports that both conventions were pretty much the same- dull. “After convention hours there was a bigger difference. At the Republican Convention there were all these guys in suits and horned rimmed glasses asking me if they could do my taxes. At the Democratic Convention there were swarms of divorced female teachers asking if I could do their taxes.” He achieved notoriety and legendary status as the only person ever who has arrived at both the Democratic and Republican post-convention parties by riding his Harley right into the Main Ballroom. After being ejected from both, he had to sneak back in on foot. Julian and its new upcoming Harley dealership are now, “on the map.” If you ever get a chance to meet the next president, no matter who he is, you’ll have instant recognition in being from Julian. All you have to do is say, “I know the guy on the Harley.”
