Restless

PSST’er Joey Garfield just directed this sweet and funny video for Langhorne Slim. Love the upstate NY (shot in Langhorne, PA actually but I was close.) vibe, feels like Spring. Nice tune, too.

Obama ’08

Today is a historic day. 45 years ago MLK, Jr. gave the I Have A Dream speech. Yesterday, Barack Obama was officially nominated by the Democratic Party to be the next President of the United States. Tonight, he accepts the nomination in front of 75,000 people in Denver.

If you know me, if you’re on my IM buddy list, if I’ve annoyed you with long forgotten Democratic Primary results or polls; you know I’ve been supporting Obama since early in this campaign. I truly believe in him. I truly believe that we can do better, and he’s the one to lead us forward.

Please watch tonight. Donate. Register to vote. Hopefully, come November, we can end this long eight years of fear, failure and utter mismanagement and put our country back on a better path.

Yes we can!
