Hoffa THE MOVIE
No, this is not a blog about the Teamster and Hoffa, dear reader, it's just consuming my days so this is what I'm blogging about....
This morning I hit the ground running at 7AM- out of the shower, just in time to here my hotel room ring (sadly it was NOT French sounding). On the other end of the line was the Teamster's Dir. of Communications (they call him Boss Hog, on the walkies, his sidekick answers to Capt. Stuebing), he was basically calling to recant something he said last night, and that YES IWAS RIGHT AGAIN, I should be in the convention hall at 7:30AM to catch the rally.
All I can say is Thank God I brought my DV camera and Camera Genius Yervant!!!
Together we shot some footage that was pretty amazing. There were 2 lines of Teamsters and a procession down the middle of it! The procession started with flags and drummers, then Hoffa, shaking hands. As I was walking backwards, guiding Yervan who was shooting, I had to hold him by the belt loops. It was so funny and cute, here's sapcey Yervant shooting an artsy move on the waving flags, totally holding the procession up. I grabbed him and gently guided him through the cheering masses.
It was totally like that movie HOFFA-no joke, that was how I felt. The cheering, the flag waving, Hoffa giving the speech with the bull horn and then pumping his fist in the air...
Alexis and I are going to rent the movie when I get back home.

How many Elvises (Elvin?) have you seen so far?
Does that count female teamsters?
