victory!
Last night was an amazing night. Today is an amazing day. Let’s stay politically engaged and make tomorrow even better. Here are some photos from last night’s AWESOME Obama party in LA. I wheat pasted, Z-Trip DJed, I DJed, Obama won, and my close friends were there to share it. I will be interviewed on CBS News tonight if you are not sick of me already(I’m sick of me). I also made a poster for MoveOn.org that will be out shortly. I think it sums up the unified and cumulative effort that made Obama president. Let’s celebrate today and get to work tomorrow. I’m leaving work to go record shopping.

STEP UP AND VOTE!
Washington, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina and FLORIDA… its your time!
PLEASE… for the sake of your own future and the future of the country vote today if you have not already.George Bush won by 537 votes in 2000 in Florida. Look at it this way: if we don’t play a part in shaping the future, we really have no right to complain if it doesn’t turn out to our liking. Voting is only one component of the above principle, but the vote of a skate-punk counts the same as a CEO. Not only is voting is the rare example of genuine equality in this country, but voting is an important tool to push for the legislation of equality and accountability. I know I’ve been relentless about this election, but thanks for listening, and hopefully caring and voting.
