Moxy Voting

[jere7my]

(This song—which is the one at the end of Throwing Copper, about her riding a horse into my head—always reminds me of Laura P. I spent a long spring and summer crushing on her, well before becoming poly. Long time gone.)

I forgot to mention that I saw Moxy Früvous's Jian Ghomeshi on CBC Friday night. He hosted a show called Screw the Vote, sort of a wry take on our Rock the Vote campaigns—the goal was the same, boosting youth turnout, but the methods were sarcastic and devious. Jian roamed across Canada, accosting youths, trying to find some reason to justify voting in the national elections. Which he did, in a roundabout way.

The show closed with John Carradine talking to the camera: "If you don't vote, you're living someone else's dream. You have to live your own dream. So get out there and vote!" He paused, then added, "Assholes."

K ran a voter registration drive Saturday (at the Border's in Wynnewood), before demo rehearsal. She gave me a copy of all the info she had -- I submitted a registration form in NJ over Christmas break, but haven't heard anything yet, so I have to check on that. If for some reason something happened with that, I guess I might register in PA, since it's a swing state.
