I had never heard of these two before “Hey Sarah Palin,” but it seems they are angling for Cabinet positions as Co-Secretaries of Busting a Move.

Putt-Putt trailhead targeted for development
Sell out the public and privatize!
As if there wasn’t enough politicking to keep everyone too busy, tonight the Forest Service is holding a meeting to talk about its latest plans for selling public land on North Cache and building a housing development at the Putt-Putt trailhead.
Yep, tucked behind the cul-de-sac at the end of East Hansen Ave. and Nelson Drive, the Forest Service seeks to build or relocate 26 housing units. The trailhead would have to be moved.

off-season just got livelier
Grace Potter wails at Grand Targhee in July. Click to enlarge.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will return to Jackson Hole to perform Nov. 21 at the Pink Garter Theater. The show is being promoted by Front Street Productions in partnership with Jackson Hole Community Radio.
This marks the third visit to the Tetons within the last year for the sultry chanteuse and her hard-rocking band from Vermont. The gig likely wouldn’t be possible without Grace’s artiste sister, Charlotte, making her home in Jackson.
Tickets are $25. There may not be much more in the way of live music until New Year’s, so this show is bound to be a smash, particularly for anyone who missed the band at the Mangy Moose last winter or Targhee Fest in July.
And for any ladies wishing to glitter like Grace, Charlotte’s friends will be selling her silver-and-fused-glass earrings at the Brew Pub from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday.

six days and counting

So little time, so many things to tackle as the electioneering builds to a frenzy in Teton County.
Let’s start with tonight: two events aimed at getting out the vote, particularly the younger ski/snowboard community traditionally pegged as slackers but likely to rise up en masse this year.
First, Jay Varley is throwing a party from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at LMC, the contemporary art gallery fast becoming a hip hangout for the politically minded, 130 S. Jackson St. FREE BEER and WINE!
The high school band Rotating Superstructure will perform; several accounts testify that these kids kick ass.
Then, the party shifts to Stone Table, where ripping snowboarder turned Obama mama Julie Zell is opening her doors to show Obama’s TV address beginning at 7 p.m. Snacks will be served. DJ Mike Thunder is spinning tunes afterward.
Looking for ways to get involved? After the jump, a list of upcoming events leading to Election Night. Pitch in for a few hours Sunday and earn a chance at winning dinner for two at Osteria; massage, acupuncture and spa treatments; and other prizes donated by Tom Mangelsen, Whole Grocer and more.

eight years later …
The Budweiser “Wassup?” guys are back, this time in defense of what’s really TRUE.
First watch the above commercial from 2000, which although somewhat annoying became a cult hit among football-watching beer drinkers.
Now check out this statement the guys made on their own, without the sanction of Anheuser-Busch.
