Just wanted to share with you two Barack Obama parties for this evening:
There is an Obama Victory Party at The Brinson Lounge, 341 Madison. It starts at 9 p.m. and people who come with Obama gear will get in free until 10 p.m. It is $10 after 10 p.m., but people who bring five other people along will get in free. (I think this is that socialism thing that everyone is talking about ...)
There is also a "I am Barack Obama" celebration at the Hattiloo Theatre tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. (Seems to me you could hit this one first, have some dinner, and then head over to the Brinson Lounge.) Hattiloo is at 656 Marshall and the invite says that "McCain supporters are welcome ... in the spirit of bringing the nation together! You will not be forced to change, although we ask you bring a bit of hope."

Early Voting — 2 Days Left
Seriously, if you can early vote, I would suggest it.
I went yesterday afternoon and the line wasn't too bad; there were probably 40 to 60 people waiting ahead of me. (And that's just early voting, stretched out over two weeks! Imagine what election day is going to be like.)
You might remember that I just recently changed my voter registration address.
After I handed the nice poll worker my ID, she clicked and clacked on her computer and then printed out a form.
"Please verify your address and sign here," she said, handing me a pen.
Unfortunately, I couldn't do that, because my address was incorrect.
"That's not your address?"
"No."
"Was it ever your address?" she asked and seemed slightly panicked, as if she was going to have to report possible voter fraud.
I explained that yes, at one time, that was my address, but I had recently filled out the election commission's change of address form. So she said, well, let's change it again. I handed her back my ID to get the correct address, and a few moments later, she handed me a new form and I happily verified that everything was right. (Thankfully I did early voting or I suspect this would have been a huge hassle.)
Five minutes later, I was done. Easy-peasy.
Early voting ends tomorrow so you have today and Thursday and then you'll have to wait until Election Day, November 4th.

Early voting Wednesday
Early voting starts tomorrow!
Generally, I don't use exclamation points (I prefer semi-colons, elegant dashes, the tried and true period), but that's how much I think of early voting. You can go when it's convenient for you; if you forget one day or it's raining, you can go the next; and the lines are nonexistent. Usually.
I like to head down to the Election Commission — might as well go straight to the source — but then again, I work downtown so it's very convenient.

Last Minute Reminder
It was brought to my attention recently that my current address might not be the address of my voter registry.
I decided to double check it and it was, indeed, wrong.
If this is the case with you, or maybe you just aren't registered but want to be, you can register — mostly online — here.
