voting in vermont

November 4th, 2008

Here’s my first-person shooter (mostly) video of voting in a small town in Vermont on a paper ballot on a golden November afternoon. No lines, no waiting, no touch screen problems. I was voter #454 at 3:30 pm. There are about 900 registered voters in town.

And I did get the champagne.

Oh! I’m just reading all your posts, and the pleas for a DTWOF election night panel. Man! I wasted all this time on the stupid video, and I should have been doing a drawing. Well…I’ll see what I can do. I got a lot on my plate tonight. I’m leaving on my book tour tomorrow and totally haven’t packed yet, or finished my powerpoint, or had dinner, or nuthin. Let’s see how the evening transpires, okay? Maybe Mo will live-blog.

Here are a few things to take the edge off. I made another drawing video with my groovy new screen capture program and my graphic tablet.

Check out the latest installment of Holly’s Birkenstock composting experiment.

Her’s my tribute drawing for the 10th anniversary of James Kochalka’s American Elf, a really wonderful daily cartoon diary strip in case you’re not familiar with it.

I’m listening to Obama’s infomercial. Whatever he’s selling, I’m buying.

How’s everybody doing? God, I need some Tums.
