 Have you ever wondered to yourself GEEZ, I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING FUN TO DO IN MY TOWN! IT'S SO BORING HERE! Well, if you have, might I suggest traveling over to your local city council meeting? There is so much fun going on there! Don't let the name or idea of going to see what your city (or town) council is talking about fool you - there's always a party going on over there - and you're invited!
See, going to city council meetings should be very informative and uplifting to your sense of comfort in your city or area - but it's not. It's a bunch of older folks yelling and swearing and crying about why they need money for this or that. It's like going to a court hearing for your Uncle Steve who accidentally sold Ecstasy to a 14-year old runaway back in July - only now you don't have to lie under oath.
And at these meetings, they let anyone who has an opinion on ANYTHING that was said during the meeting to stand up and talk. This is the perfect opportunity to try out your impression of a Russian accent and ask why the sidewalks haven't been fixed on Poplar Street yet. Or, if they didn't want to talk about sidewalk fixings, ask about the age of consent and see if maybe they've moved the down a few years. It seems like it's taking forever for Brandi down the street to turn 17.
And there's other people at these meetings, too! Really strange people who've known about coming here and fucking things up for years. That's all they do. They set their calendars and show up to these meetings! That's fantastic! You need to meet these people! If nothing else, you could get a great Rice Pudding recipe from Granny Nell. She usually sits in the middle of the seating areas.
Also, depending on where you live (or where the meeting is) you don't have to worry about security. You can bring knives, forks, guns, or pepper spray into the meeting area and nobodies gonna say anything to you. If you're lucky, you'll see the news media there, but they're usually slacking off in the corner playing dice games or trying to figure out which one in the room has the most dirt on them.
So what are you waiting for! Go to your city council meetings! If the city thinks that YOU'RE the demographic that actually gives a shit, then they will start listening to you. It's like you and your kind can run the city. It's crazy, but it just might work!
