9-17, Constitution Day. Michael, Corey, and I are half way through our 3 week roadtrip filming for our documentary on the Ron Paul grassroots. We are in D.C., staying at Bradley's place. This is Bradley after a hearty breakfast at Jimmy T's. He seems to have enjoyed his breakfast.

This morning we got up and walked to RP's office and set up for the interview. Tweaking lighting, debating on the background, etc. It was fun.
RP arrives to the office late and graciously grants us nearly 1/2 hour on camera. We had our questions prepared. All went well.

Adam Kokesh met us at the office, and we walked and hung out after. We shot an interview and took the train to the IVAW HQ (http://ivaw.org/). We got the tour and hung out for a few hours. I eventually caught a few Z's on Adam's office couch.

From there we all jumped in Kokesh's Highlander and sped through the D.C. streets back to Bradley's place. We dumped the day's HD interview footage to the hard drive, and backed it up to another drive.
After that we all walked to Code Pink's pot luck at their D.C. HQ. Very interesting scene to say the least.

We feasted on some free "hippy" grub and chilled for a few hours. After that we hurried back to Bradley's place to tune into the post-debate discussion of the Liberty Straw Poll, which Kokesh apparently has dubbed the "official DC Liberty Straw Poll Viewing Party". Imagine myself, RP Hawaii, Bradley, Kokesh, etc gathered around the screen cracking up and loving Southern Avenger, Tom Woods, and Kurt Wallace having a hell of a good time with their post discussion. Avenger's comments on Sean Hannity were especially hilarious.

I went outside to grab some fresh air, and see Kokesh on the phone with Amiee Allen, discussing her soon to be appearance on the post-poll discussion. He hangs up and a few minutes later Aimee joins the feed. This is all too surreal.
A few minutes later Ron Paul himself, whom we just interviewed earlier in the day, joins the call to give some insight into the innovative Liberty Straw Poll. We are all glued to the feed and listing with smiles. Too good.
We call Avenger and watched him check his incoming call on the live video stream (which he didn't answer). This was hilarious to see.
So now we're all hanging out and having a hell of a fun time discussing Bradley's testimony to the D.C. city council to consider as revisions to their hand gun ban.

What a day!
Tomorrow we're off to interview Doug Wead for a historical look at our grassroots efforts. More to follow soon.
