Too Legit to Quit

Western Mass Team - Sudbury

While on a brief canvassing foray to Maynard last week, Sam and I bumped into a group of MassPIRG employees. The conversation went as follows:

PIRG: "What are you guys canvassing for?"
MCS: "100% clean electricity in the next decade. You?"
PIRG: "Recycling."
PIRG: "Wow. Your shirts are so much cooler than ours!"
MCS: "Yeah, we like the logo. It's pretty sweet."
PIRG: "Where are you guys canvassing?"
MCS: (pointing to the map) "Here."
PIRG: "Oh man, they got to our territory first. That's exactly where we're going."
MCS: "Sorry."
PIRG: "Where did you guys park your car?"
MCS: "We don't have cars. We're biking across the state. We locked our bikes down the street."
PIRG: (mouths hanging open) "You guys are so cool! Look at us, here in our gas guzzling Ford."
MCS: "Haha. Thanks."
PIRG: "So where is your office?"
MCS: "We don't have an office. We pull all of our stuff on trailers behind our bikes."
PIRG: "So where are you guys based out of?"
MCS: "We don't really have a home base. We use google docs and cell phones mostly."
PIRG: "You Guys Are So LEGIT."
MCS: "Here. Sign our petition."
PIRG: "Here. Sign ours."
MCS: "Where is it?"
PIRG: "In the back. It's actually the least important part. So, how much are you guys asking for?"
MCS: "Nothing. We don't ask for money."
PIRG: "What? You don't ask for money? That's so legit. And let me guess, you guys are all volunteer too?"
MCS: "Um, yeah."
PIRG: "These guys are so Legit."
MCS: "Haha, thanks guys. But we better get going, it was nice talking to you. Peace."

We are that "Legit." But thumbs up PIRG -- doing some cool recycling work. In the mean time, we've got miles to wheel and movement to forge.
