PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Not long ago, reporters traveling with Sen. John McCain got this mysterious message from a campaign staffer, with no other details:
if you are traveling with us on tuesday, you will need to wear all cotton clothing (no blazers or suits) as well as flat closed-toe shoes
We only get our schedule a day or two in advance. The requirement for cotton clothing, which is well-known for its breath-ability, would indicate we will be going somewhere hot — potentially hot enough to melt synthetic fabrics — where things may or may not fall on your feet or get into your footwear. Maybe we’re going to a volcano, or an iron-smelting plant. This has led to rampant speculation among the traveling press corps. The most provocative — and fun — suggestion: Sturgis Bike Week in South Dakota, which gets underway this weekend.
Any guesses where you think we are headed?
UPDATE: Apparently, we are going to Sturgis – on Monday. Still no word on Tuesday.

It would be awesome if it was Sturgis! As you know Sen. McCain will definitely be there, so maybe you will be too! Should be a party. Have you ever been? I haven’t. I confess I’m pretty new to motorcycle culture; I just started working as a brand ambassador for Progressive motorcycle insurance, and since then I’ve become really interested in it. We’re actually going to be at Sturgis, which is awesome! We’ll be giving away free shirts at our booth at Thunder Road, plus having a drawing to win a custom Sucker Punch Sally’s motorcycle. It’s beautiful, kind of old school. The shirts are also really nice, exclusive to Sturgis and absolutely free. If you end up coming to the rally and want to pick one up while you’re there, you just go to http://motorcycle.progressive.com ahead of time to download the coupon, then come by our booth to drop it off and say hi! Be sure to bring the coupon though; we can only give you a free shirt if you have one. We’re going to have other cool giveaways too, so it should be a fun time.
I hope I haven’t overstepped my bounds by leaving this comment, I’m just trying to get the word out :) If you have any questions or want more information feel free to shoot me an Email: leah.druska@gmail.com.
See you at Thunder Road Monday, and if you’re not on your way already, ride safe!
