10:00 p.m. — Mmmm… Cake

Posted by on November 8 at 22:00 PM

Dan Savage just put in a call to Jan Drago at her party. He congratulated her on her victory, and praised her for stomping Casey Corr, AKA “The Mayor’s Boy.” But really he just wanted to ask about the cake.

Savage loves cake, and the sight of a great big cake made him hungry. And Savage needs a little sugar to cheer him up, what with the monorail going down. So he asked Jan if she could have some of the cake sent up to the Stranger HQ.

“Well, we want to cut it, but we were waiting for one more batch of numbers to come in,” Drago said. “But we’ll do that. We’ve got to figure out how to get it up to you guys.” Turning to her campaign manager, Drago said, “Erin, The Stranger wants some cake! We’ve got to figure out how to get it up to them!”

Savage broke in: “Jan, we’ll send someone down to pick it up. You don’t have to run it up here yourself.”

Amy Jenniges was duly dispatched to Drago’s party to pick up some cake.

UPDATE: At 10:15 PM, Erin Thurston, Drago’s campaign manager, called The Stranger’s office and asked if someone was coming to get the cake they set aside for The Stranger. Savage told her that Amy Jenniges was on her way, platter in hand. Check back here for more updates on the cake.

SECOND UPDATE: It’s 10:30 and Savage is losing it. “If that cake isn’t in this office in ten minutes,” he’s screaming, “we’re pulling our Drago endorsement!”
