Chris Bell Tonight @ The Continental Club

Nope, not that Chris Bell, this one. Tonight (Tues., October 22nd) up at ever-excellent The Continental Club, longtime Houston music scene fixture Jesse Dayton will be playing at a benefit for Chris’s Texas Senate run, and it sounds like a good time.

Chris Bell is good people, one of the few local Houston politicos whom I really, truly respect, and I sincerely want to see him back in public office. I was in his district ’til he was targeted by Tom DeLay’s redistricting scam and had to watch as it got shifted out from under him (and into more Repub-friendly territory, naturally; ah, Texas politics…), and as a former constituent, I can attest to Bell honestly giving a damn about the people he represents. And hey, Jesse Dayton’s pretty great, too. Get on out & support.
