10/6: Red State Update Town Hall Meeting (Belcourt Theater)

2008.10.07 red state update
On the eve of the presidential candidates’ invasion of their home turf, Red State Update’s Jackie Broyles and Dunlap– Murfreesboro, Tennessee’s only internet-based political pundits– fulfill their patriotic duty by offering Americans a real choice when it comes to town hall meetings.
McCain and Obama are the two most boring people this side of the revamped “At The Movies.” Why swallow their crap when you can swallow Jackie and Dunlap’s, live and in person?
Controversial issues! Questions from the audience! Songs! Puppets! That’s how you have a damn town hall meeting.
Red State Update and Belcourt Theater present
