Friday of DemFest: Kim and I arrived in Austin around noon. We called around, trying to find places to be and food to eat. We ended up at a restaurant called Angie’s for lunch. I saw a woman wearing a Democracy for Texas pin and started up a discussion with her. It turned out that she was David Van Os’ wife. We chatted a little and as she was leaving, she stopped by with David and we talked a little more. Like Kim, David was a Dean Dozen candidate last cycle.

In the evening, he had meeting to address his supporters. Richard Morrison spoke briefly about his support for David Van Os. I had heard of Richard as the person running against Tom Delay yet I had never heard him speak. He did a great job speaking.
