Elizabeth Kucinich Follows My Lead

When I was young, and still living in Denver, I spent many school nights kicking around in downtown coffee houses. Paris on the Platte was a favorite. The Market in LoDo and St. Mark’s (around the corner) were habitual haunts of my friends and I. Whenever the Psychodelic Zombiez or my pals in On Second Thought played the Mercury Cafe, I’d certainly be found there.

On more than a few occasions, I played the open mic nights at “The Merc” myself.

The video above brought memories flooding back, as I watched Elizabeth Kucinich speak to supporters at The Mercury Cafe. Lord knows what a blubbering, emotional mess I’ll become when the convention takes me back to the city that raised me.
