Early Returns

DailyKOS is listing the early returns, with cautionary notes not to get too excited.

Yeah, right!

How to Vote

Please plan to take some time and go to the polls early tomorrow. Reports from voters who went to the County Election Board on Friday say the turnout was high and the line was long. This is partly because the electorate is more energized than it has been in years -- but also because OK put so many questions on the ballot, each voter needs a lot more time to exercise their rights! In the end, the election may go to those who care the most -- those who take their vote (or victory) for granted may turn away and go home.

Some very detailed and timely voting information comes from Jeff Johnson of PFLAG. Read on for links and specific instructions about finding your polling place, and what to do if you feel you are being denied the right to vote.

Sullivan Still Up to Tricks on Brookside

I went down to the BooHaHa Parade on Brookside yesterday to get some pictures of my son's performance with the Edison Marching Band. Imagine my surprise to find myself catching John Sullivan in a little sophomoric stunt right under my nose! Thanks to my cheap little digital camera, I even have the pictures to prove it....

It started innocently enough -- Sullivan's crewe went by with little fanfare. I noted the absence of the candidate and assumed he must be off raising funds from out-of-state interests or talking to conservative church leaders who might be morally flexible enough to overlook his arrest record.

Wouldn't You Knoet?

Not that it has anything to do with this, but if you want to meet me (not beat me), I'll be hosting an event tonight at LivingArtSpace in Tulsa.

Poeformance

This is not your grandmother's poetry reading. We're going to kick out the jams and bring the crowd to its feet!

• Bill Z Poet will do Something From the Heart


• Marty Jensen will debut "Saving the Cicada, or How Powell Must Have Marvelled at His Fate."


• Featured Poet and Slam Champion Damion Shade will do a full set of verse, followed by his new band The Credits (see hip new poster, attached).

"Poetry is meant to be read -- loud."
