Alright, before I say anything, do me a favor? Watch the video as you’re reading the rest of this post. It really adds “ambiance” to my news and I spent a hell of a lot of time cropping my head so that it fit JUST right. Ready? Good, here we go!

Friends, I know many of you know that I am moving to Chicago in September for a few months. Now that everything is in place I am delighted to announce that I will be working on Barack Obama’s campaign! I’m not quite sure exactly what I’ll be doing down there yet, it could range to anything from blog strategy to community building. I’ll post more info as I get it, but all I know is I’ll be right in there at headquarters!

It’s going to be pretty awesome: new city, new friends, new project, new experiences, heck- I’ve even got a new roommate! Hilarity is bound to ensue. I’m inviting all of you to come on this trip with me as I tweet, blog, and Facebook my way towards one of the most historic US presidential elections.

Disclaimer: I have to confess that part of my reason for embarking on this adventure is the pursuit of what I’m pretty sure is the HOLY GRAIL of Facebook profile pictures. WILL I ACHIEVE THIS GOAL?

Stay tuned to find out!!
