Long time customers will want to know that an original member of my band, Bitchin’ Betty and the Sequined Backhoes,” was elected a national delegate to the Democratic convention in September yesterday.

Fenway Fran opened a franchise in Washington State and was elected yesterday.  Fran plays the heavy metal marimba in the band.  Rumor has it that more of the Backhoes are running and even Betty Herownself is seeking to be elected a delegate.

Fran did a lot of undercover work for us among the local Republicans so the only picture I’m willing to publish of her is  at her Leaving Texas party.  Yes, we gave her a pink cowboy hat and a bottle of genuine Bitchin’ Betty wine.  Eat your heart out.

Hugs to Fran and somebody – please! – make her start updating her website to share her adventure with all of us.
