Last night we received this lovely invitation to meet the mayor at the Seattle Glassblowing Studio at 8pm tonight (Saturday). I’d like to point out that we didn’t receive this invite from just one person, but many many people. It would seem many “Neighbors for Nickels” are a little more than upset with Mayor Gridlock.

So, if you’d like to come by for a short while (probably no more than 30-60 minutes) and ask the mayor a question, feel free. Here are some questions to get you started:

• It’s my understanding that the monorail board invited you to attend their Monday public meeting? Will you be there?
• Why haven’t you ever attended a monorail board meeting?
• How many votes on a single issue do you think are appropriate to gauge public intent? 1? 5? 10?
• The week the monorail board needed to put something on the ballot, why couldn’t you find time to come down and help, but you found plenty of time for ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings? (Four of them for a total of 3 hours, 45 minutes)
• Why have you shut down your public email address? Don’t you want to hear from the public? (more on that later)

And if we’re not allowed in, we’ll have Mayor Gridlock signs and fliers there. I’m expecting this to be brief but interesting, so if you’re nearby, come by, but if you’re not, seriously enjoy your Saturday.

The Seattle Glassblowing Studio is at 2227 5th Ave. It’s a pretty cool place too. How do we know this? They hosted the pro-monorail party after we won last November.
