Speak Now for Equality

As some of you know, Caddie is working on a documentary about marriage equality in America. While the doc will be ongoing for a few years, she’s releasing a few spots for Tuesday’s election. On the ballot in California is Proposition 8, which would eliminate the rights of many couples in California. Cad’s first two PSAs are live:

Speak Now for Equality

Also on YouTube:
1. Speak Now for Equality :: PSA #1
2. Speak Now for Equality :: PSA #2

A bit more from Caddie: “Turns out, creating PSA’s is no easy task, hence the late release date. I plan to continue this project after the election – regardless of the outcome we obviously have a long way to go.

Please send on to friends and family – especially those who may be California citizens.

Special thanks to everyone who helped out, participated and sent kind words. Extra special thanks to Monique Reymond, Mark Gerstner, Jim Gilbane, Meghan Scott and Ben Kopke who were integral to the production of this piece and all that follow.”

Cad and I just spent a few days in Sayulita, nailing down details and surfing as much as possible. Joining us were Cad’s sister Liz and her two boys, Barret and Owen. While in town we took one for the team and tried as many restaurants and bars as we could. Favorites included margaritas at Lupe (and dinner too!), fish sandwich at Don Pedro’s, and the huevos rancheros at El Espresso. Buddha Bar has a great thing going at night, at least those nights they skip the live music. I’d say the overall favorite was Bar Playa…hard to beat a bar on the beach that looks like something out of Gilligan’s Island, but with great margaritas and a better soundtrack.
