My favorite thing to do was wear my Dean tee shirts to concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheater during the summers of 2003 and 2004. You simply wouldn't believe how many people came up to talk to me about him. It was wonderful - that beautiful scenery, the fresh air, the concert atmosphere.

The best evening was when a group of people from Iowa came up to me. They were, of course. thinking ahead to their caucuses. They were truly interested in the issues and wanted to know Dean's positions on various things. That was the night that sold me on activism, on the fact that it can work.
