political events

Nov 20, 2008 23:16

I go to a lot of local political events for the newspaper.  I had to photograph one tonight for a member of the Colombian community that is running for City Council.  It started at 6.  I got there at 6:45 because these things never start on time, and especially when it is on Latin time.  Seriously, the candidate told me that his speech would start at 7:30, Latin time, which really meant 8:30.  About 10 people got up and spoke about what a great candidate he is, which is fine.  The only thing that was really annoying was that the whole presentation was in Spanish.  There is nothing worse than going to a political event and listening to boring speeches, except when there are political speeches in a language you don't really understand.
