LL Contest: When Will Marion Barry Arrive at His Own Campaign Kickoff?

Posted by Mike DeBonis on Jun. 20, 2008, at 2:39 pm

Tomorrow, Ward 8 Councilmember and Mayor-for-Life Marion Barry will be holding his campaign kickoff at the Temple of Praise Church, at 700 Southern Ave. SE. The event is scheduled for 1 p.m. until 4 p.m., which is a pretty hefty window.

It also raises the question, when will the famously unpunctual politico actually show up to his own event?

So LL puts it to you, dear readers: Guess which time Marion Barry actually shows up in the comments (please leave a genuine e-mail address). LL will be there and will note the first moment the guest of honor is seen on the premises. Closest will be mailed the grand prize---a watercolor-it-yourself portrait of the man:

   Well, Grim, you're way off. LL didn't get there himself till almost 2, and Barry was already there!

   But you still win.

   Will you paint it for me, too, or do I have to do that?
