[diem's list] Help a bunny out?

I sent out this letter below on July 21st, and unfortunately I still
have yet to find something full time. If you have any connections at
your company, or know of somewhere where I might fit in well, for
*any* job PLEASE let me know. I have connections in California, but
prefer to stay here. Please help a bunny stay in Seattle.

Good morning! As most of you know, I have been self-emplyed as a
mortgage broker/loan originator now for over 1 1/2 years. It has been
a wonderful experience, helping put people in homes, and many of them
I count as friends.

As time has progressed you may have seen the market steadily declining
since last August, and unfortunately it has gotten to the point where
I can no longer stay in that business full time. I have chosen to keep
my license and continue on a referral basis only, so for those who
would like to refer to me still can. **UPDATE -- this is still the
case. I am happy to help you in this realm**

I am looking for a new position that uses my strong organizational
ability, people management skills, technology proficiency, and client
management ability. The job titles this might encompass include but
are not limited to:

Project Manager//Jr. Project Manager
Program Manager
Audio/Visual Project Manager
Developer Partnership Manager
Key Account Manager
Client Relationship Manager
Business Development Manager
Manager of Client Services

I am open to pretty much anything, as I have a greatly varied
background which provides me an excellent viewpoint. If your company
is hiring, or know of a job opening, please don't hesitate to let me
know. I appreciate your time in reading this!! I have my resume ready,
and if you find something I will be happy to provide it to you if you
like.

Thank you,

Diem

Tilt-shift time-lapse

From Gizmodo:
"Tilt-shift lenses sit off-center of the film (or sensor) plane of your camera to produce photos with extremely limited depth of field, giving the effect of a macro shot of a tiny scene."

[diem's list] Paddy's Ark! Seats left this saturday!

ALRIGHT KIDDIES! Paddy's Ark was a combination of St. Paddy's Day and Noah's Ark. In other words, we dressed up in animal outfits on St. Paddy's and were driven on a pub crawl. Well, it's back, and THIS Saturday. There are a few seats left, and believe me this is A LOT of fun. 

I am driving the bus, so all you do is meet us at Georgetown (details later for those who sign up) Saturday, and I will drive us around Seattle. Your job is to invade bars and squawk like eagles, hop like bunnies, or whatever gets your fancy.

More details below.....and if you want in YOU MUST WRITE ME OFFLIST ASAP :-)



*************
What is Paddy's Ark?. It's a fundraiser for the Succu-Bus, but it's also a silly good time. It does usually involve hangovers, but my advice is to eat a Dick's burger before you board, and drink some water! You'll be fine!

So, dig out your animal costumes and ready yourself for some marauding! RSVP by paying $28 to the Succu-Bus paypal account: Seattle.Succu.Bus@gmail.com, or don't and see if we miss you. (Probably). There are limited "seats" on this adventure, and money talks.

Also, save the date for August 2, Flight to Mars is throwing down Pompeii-style and you don't want to miss it.

Love you all! xo bevin

Where the hell is Matt?


Some of you folks might be wondering if I am secretly pimping Stride gum by posting this. The answer is definitely no -- but since they keep making Matt fly and dance all over and putting a huge smile on my face and make be believe people aren't that bad out there, I think I might have to buy a pack ;-)

[diem's list] Sequence Next Saturday....

I have been hard at work on this great project, and this is the last I
will talk about it here. If you want the directions or more info, you
must sign up for the outgoing announce only list at the link provided
below. I'm off for the weekend, have fun y'all.

BTW, this last Sequence post is okay to forward to lists if desired,
but please do not forward the final directions to any lists or websites.


*******************

Ill Communication --

Hello from the Dave2 and Boogie U.

The site is being prepped this weekend, from help from all over,
including our friends in Canada. The performers and talent are
incredible, and this is going to be one truly amazing time. Below we
have prepared a Q+A for you. Should you have more questions, use the
boards at the link below. This email here is the last email you may
forward to a list. Please sign up for the proper mailing list at: http://eventsequence.com/mailman/listinfo/paulrevere_eventsequence.com

or http://preview.tinyurl.com/4qlcys

We have setup a forum for rideshares and such here:
http://eventsequence.com/page5/page5.html

Here's a little Q+A:

Q - What time is the event?
A - Technically it is 9:14pm to 5:15am, or dusk to dawn. However, we
will be there all day setting up, and you may happily join us for the
PUNK ROCK BBQ at 7pm or so. We will have a grill and cook, bring your
own meat/stuff/veg. No bacon allowed on our grill, yo.

Q - What do I need to bring?
A - For those who want to camp, we recommend a tent and sleeping bag.
However, since this is a one night event camping is not necessary.

Q - What time should I arrive *if* I camp?
A - We would recommend 6pm at the latest to arrive. In the event area,
there is a *limited* amount of camping, however in the surrounding
areas there are plenty of nooks and crannies you will have to explore
on your own.

Q - Is the event free?
A - Indeed it is, however free events are not really free. If you feel
like we have "SEQ" oval stickers for sale for $5, or 3 for $10. Grab a
Dave if you would like one. We'd appreciate it. BTW, the stickers are
bad ass.

Q - Where is it?
A - it is approximately 128 miles or 2 1/2 hours north of Seattle,
and for Canadians, approximately 101 km or 1 1/2 hours (plus border
time).

Q - Can I bring an RV?
A- No way -- they won't fit.

Q - Is this child friendly?
A - Yes, but highly depends on the child. There are some dangerous
geographical aspects of the site, so supervision is recommended. If
you are a parent, and have concerns, feel free to contact us and we
can talk specifics.

Q - Can I bring a dog?
A - You can, but we prefer not. This event will contain elements that
might frighten dogs, so we don't recommend it.

Q - Bathrooms?
A - There will be one outhouse dugout. If you are an experienced
camper with a shovel and biodegradable TP that would work, too.

Q - What is LEAVE NO TRACE mean?
A - Leave no trace is one of the tenants of Burning Man: "Our
community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no
physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after
ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a
better state than when we found them." This site has some garbage we
have already started cleaning, and we ask everyone to help pick up a
little. We have extra trash bags, too, if you want to help clean.

Q - What is RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE?
A - Radical self-reliance is a Burning Man tenant as well: "Burning
Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or
her inner resources." This means nothing will be provided to you for
your health, safety, or existence. Want water? Bring it. Want to
sleep? Bring a tent. You should not count on your friends generosity
-- rely on yourself. Don't be a bliss bunny. You will be tagged and
shamed publicly.

Q - Can I bring performance or entertainment to the show?
A - Just like the burn, you are welcome to perform or bring your
special talent to the event. If someone wanted to head up AC/DC
waffles at 5:15am we'd really, really, really love you. No, we're not
kidding.

Q - What should we wear?
A - Whatever you want! Dress warm, and look fabulous should you desire.

and finally:

Q - WHEN ARE YOU SENDING US THE LOCATION?
A - Thursday morning July 3, here on this list. PLEASE, UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES FORWARD THE LOCATION TO ANY LISTS. THIS WILL DESTROY THE
EVENT! If you want to forward to some friends, that's perfectly okay--
just NO LISTS.


End Communication.

[diem's list] new project and roommate help!

List time! It's been a while since I sent one, so hopefully you will
pay attention to this!

1) Sequence 01
2) Looking for housing? Roommate wanted! (not at my place :-) Live at
Stronghold!

***********************
from me:

I have started a project with inspiration of tales from LA in the
1980's. There was a collective group who produced events second to
none, with one very large caveat:

Not a single person attending the event actually knew what was going
to happen.

This has inspired the cacophonous part of me in many ways, and it also
has inspired Boogie Universal to help us in the madness.

Here's the release:
----------------------------------
This is a note to inform you of this upcoming event dave2 is producing
as our gift to the community. We realize there is a shroud of mystery
over the whole thing, and this is not unintentional. We have also
recently combined with Boogie Universal, and look forward to amazing
collaboration.

What you do need to know is that our mission, our intention is to
produce a really great event, be with our friends and make some new
ones. I have one important thing to ask of all of you who have been so
gracious and understanding thus far:

In order to consolidate the information we need to give you to you
about this event, we need you to sign up for the mailing list. This is
an announce only list. You should receive about 3-4 emails total from
it, and you can unsubscribe at any time. This list is also the only
place we are going to inform people about how to get to the event on
July 5th. So please... sign up here to get directions to Sequence and
a couple of other event related announcements:

http://eventsequence.com/mailman/listinfo/paulrevere_eventsequence.com

and general info here:

http://eventsequence.com

We have identified the space, and it is 123 miles north of Seattle, in a
stunning mountain location overlooking miles of forest. You should
plan for 2 1/2 hours travel time. Canadians will have a shorter travel time.

Also, we would appreciate help in setup and strike, and we would love
you forever if you would be willing to help us. You can sign up on the
"ill communication" page of the site.

Finally... your friends are our friends! Forward them this link and
get them to sign up for the list. We'd love to have them come to this
event. Dave2
---------------------

So, with the above said, we'df love to have you come to our event. It
is *far* from a simple party, and we have been working for months on
this, and it's our gift to you.

once the event is over, extensive information about performers and
those assisting will be released.

***********************
From Rusty:

I am looking for a housemate to share a newly remodeled single story home on
beacon hill at the Stronghold Arts collective.

I am a thirty seven year old industrial artist. I am clean and respectful
and hope to find someone that can share space well. Cleanliness is
important, as is a sense of humor and the ability to communicate
effectively. I would prefer to share the house with a gal rather than guy.
I am generally pretty quiet at home and very loud everywhere else.

A trained outside kitty would be okay.


Rent is generally around 600 a month and includes utilities, and laundry
facilities. The house is located two blocks from a new library and the
future light rail station. It is easy to get to the 36 bus line, I-5 and 99.
It is located walking distance from grocery.

The room is available as of July first.

The house shares a common back yard with the three other Stronghold houses.

Living here is an engaging and social experience. If you are interested in
meeting artists and social architects this would provide you with a unique
opportunity to do so.

We have fires and barbecues frequently in the summer and the house is really
nice.

Please contact Rusty Directly if you have questions,

hazardfactor@gmail.com

**********************

*** Please DO NOT REPOST on any lists or websites.  This is a lengthy message.  Please take the time to read it.
 
I'd like to personally invite you to the "h'Art Opening" fundraiser on Friday (March 21) at the Transcendent Church of Bass.  March 21 is a very auspicious day – it is full moon, Spring Equinox, first day of Aries, and also an important day in many spiritual traditions (Good Friday, Purim, Nawruz etc.)  A perfect day for opening our hearts!
 
Coral (DJ)
Diem (DJ)
EQlateral (Live)
Geminitrix (DJ)
Kristina Childs (DJ)
Madly in Dub (live)
Michael Holden (DJ)
Lara (DJ)
Skoi (DJ)
 

Feedback on February 15 h'Art Opening:
Before I continue I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone that volunteered as well as the 300 of you that attended the first h'Art Opening on February 15 – it was a beautiful event!  And thank you for all your feedback – it's great to hear about your heart-opening experiences.  Success is not measured by money, but we did raise $1,424 for the insurance fund, as well as $475 for Burners without Borders.  Thank you for that.
 
Intention:
The intention with h'Art Opening is to co-create an environment that celebrates our artists, and fosters a deeper level of interaction between people - more of a personal heart-connection.  "Hi, how are you" is great, but we believe that strong community is built on a deeper level.  Our vision is to create sacred space for people to gather; space that promotes heart opening through music, art, performance, décor, lighting, and great conversation.  The upstairs will have a loungy feel that is soft, sensual, and dreamy, an invitation to the feminine side of the music/art scene.  The downstairs space will balance the energy with a more masculine, warehouse feel, and feature heavier dance beats.  A simple quick opening and closing will seal the space, and bring us together with intention.
 
Hours, cover, and gifting:
It's an early party that goes late – we're opening doors at 7:20pm for the first part of the evening. (20 after the hour is the key to identifying our events)  The first couple of hours will be more along the lines of a traditional Art Opening where we can meet artists and friends over a glass of wine, get a chance to catch up on conversations and so forth.  We're asking you to please come early - there will be a reduced cover of $5 until 9pm, and $10 thereafter.  25% of the door money raised at this month's event will be gifted to our neighbor Cityteam (http://www.cityteam.org/seattle/) for the construction of a trash and recycling enclosure on their property.
 
Call for artists, musicians, and volunteers:
If you're an artist and are interested in showing your work at this month's or a future h'Art Opening, please send us an e-mail with a brief bio to art@churchofbass.org.  We're especially interested in heart-related art pieces.
If you're a musician or DJ and would like to perform at this month's or a future h'Art Opening, please send an e-mail with a brief bio to music@churchofbass.org
If you're a performer and would like to perform at this month's or a future h'Art Opening, please send an e-mail with a brief bio to perform@churchofbass.org
If you have ideas or suggestions for activities we can incorporate into this month's or a future h'Art Opening, please e-mail us at activities@churchofbass.org
It takes many volunteers to bring this together, and we'd appreciate help, especially volunteers during the event.  Here are a few categories, and corresponding e-mail address to use.
·         If you'd like to volunteer at our alcoholic or non-alcoholic bar we'd love to hear from you – please send an e-mail to beverage@churchofbass.org, and please also let us know whether you have a class 12 license.
·         If you'd like to help as a greeter at the door during the event – please send an e-mail togreeter@churchofbass.org
·         If you'd like to volunteer to help with anything else, including setup or cleanup, please send an e-mail to volunteer@churchofbass.org
 
Musical Lineup and Art:
We're still finalizing the music and artists for this month's h'Art Opening, and will send out more details in the reminder e-mail next week.  I can assure you that it's going to be world-class!  There is also going to be lots of opportunity to interact and create your own art.  We'll be offering journeys during h-Art Opening in Louisa's innovative "Sonosphere" - check it out at http://www.thesonosphere.com/.  And get ready for the Supernatural Trickster Brigade!
 
Beverages:
We've decided to only serve red wine this time, and only between the hours of 7:20 and 9:20.  We would like to share the rational with you: The serving of alcohol requires the most volunteers during the event, particularly class 12 bartenders.  Add to that the fact that we served only 400 drinks to 300 people at the first h'Art Opening!  That's a little more than one drink per person over the course of 7 hours.  So I guess we are not a drinking crowd, and not serving alcohol after the "art opening" segment seems to make sense.  We plan to have a variety of interesting non-alcoholic beverages available, including kava-kava, kombucha, chai, herbal teas, elixirs, tinctures, and juices.  If you have some ideas or would like to contribute to our non-alcoholic bar, please e-mail us at beverage@churchofbass.org.
 
Other activities at the Church of Bass:
We are offering a number of interesting regular and special events.  Here are a few to keep in mind:
·         Dance Church: Come and join us for ecstatic free style dancing to some of Seattle's top DJ's every 1st and 3rd Wednesday from 7:20pm – 10:20pm.  For more information please visit our tribe page at http://tribes.tribe.net/dancechurchseattle
·         Isochronic and Binaural Brain Entrainment: We'd like to invite you to join us every Thursday for a sound frequency healing session using isochronic and binaural tones.  Isochronic Tones uses sounds to entrain the mind to altered states of consciousness.  Our session starts at 7:20pm and we ask that you please be on time, as we will close the doors shortly thereafter.  Please bring a pillow to sit on if you can – we'll have some but not enough for a large turnout.  We're using current and developing technology to access different levels of consciousness to the point of familiarity and self direction.  The concurrent aim is navigating the potential of group access to the collective conscious and its effects.  You can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats andhttp://ezinearticles.com/?id=328081.  You are also welcome to check out our tribe athttp://tribes.tribe.net/psychesonics.  
·         We're very excited about hosting Communiversity here on March 22.  Communiversity is an all day experiential learning event and community potluck featuring some of our community's brilliant minds and biggest hearts. A day of creativity, interactivity, healing and consciousness expansion. Throughout the day you will learn about Mind Machines, binaural beats, plant alchemy, gemstone therapy, acupuncture, grassroots city planning, Gaian studies, magik circles, Damanhur Italy, sacred toning, hands on mask making, raw food goodies, and the Sonosphere.
 
Before I sign off I'd like to let you know that I'm still feeling my way around the many exciting opportunities to use my space to foster the kind of community that we love, so please consider it a work in progress….  I'd also like to express my sincere appreciation to the h'Art team: Nina, Alisha, Heather, Isaac, Jael, Theresa, Freewil, Eva, Lola, Chris, Nathan, Indigo, and each of you for all your love, encouragement, and enthusiasm.  Thank you for co-creating all of this with me. 
 
"h'Art Opening" is an event for you, about you, and with you.  Without you there would be no "h'Art Opening".  I'd like to invite you to PERSONALLY invite your friends, but please DO NOT POST on lists.  And PLEASE INCLUDE this lengthy e-mail as well as the attached e-flyer with each invitation, as it communicates the intention and vibe we're striving for. J  And thank you for reading all of this!
 
Love, light, and gratitude,
Hendrik

Hello all, Miss Bunny Ruffles here.

As a lover of all things cute and furry, I'm organizing this year's (inaugural?) Victoria Bunnarchy. I bandied it about with a few people and got a general consensus on March 22. Now I know this is also worldwide pillowfight day, but 
really, we CAN do both. Pillowfight at 3pm, then seeing as people 
will be loitering about anyway, hit the pubs! Create mayhem and chaos 
downtown! Confuse locals and tourists alike! Make total asses of 
ourselves (of which we do well)! Get arrested and spend the night in 
the drunk tank! No wait, scratch the last one.

So, you may be asking yourself, what do I need to do to prepare 
myself? Well, it's not rocket science people, get yourself some ears 
and a tail at the very least (special prizes for best bunny outfit), 
and it would be helpful to learn the bunny hop. Here's instructions 
for the slackers out there:

http://www.ehow. com/how_15790_ bunny-hop. html


That is all.

Warm greetings!

We'd love you to come and join us at Tost from 8.30 pm on Sunday March 23rd, to help celebrate long awaited Spring and the release of Henta's new electronic dream-pop album, "Daisy Dancing".

Henta, originally from the UK, is a singer/songwriter and she'll be performing 2 live sets with Marcell Marias, as well as performing songs with her special guests, DJ Muad'deep, David Miles Huber and Ludington GT.

Hello everyone!

Greeting! This is Olie and I got your email addresses by a variety of means, so please let me know if this is an unwanted message by replying with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line, and my apologies.

This is the first of a quarterly newsletter regarding musical games/projects sponsored and administered by Beep Repaired <http://beeprepaired.com>  and curated by yours truly.
 <http://whiteelephant.beeprepaired.com
The White Elephant Record Exchange Project was undertaken by 20 individuals in the late part  of January 2008 and will air for the first time on Hollow Earth Radio <http://hollowearthradio.com>  this wednesday March 19th at 9 pm pacific time and will re-air Thursday.

This project involved sampling, composition, and ultimately all kinds of sound making.
Participants were to find the "worst" and "most unusable" 12" vinyl records they could find. Those were then exchanged by random and by whatever method I saw fit. They then had to compose a piece of at least 1 minute 30 seconds (give or take) by only editing and  'creative' playback of the record itself. No pitch adjustment or time stretching/compressing, effects was allowed by digital means.  Just cut and paste, layering, and volume adjustment. This comprises part 1. 

These finished pieces were then given to the original chooser of the source record to 'remix' this time there were no restrictions except that the new piece be "based" on the one they were given. Anything goes.

The result is nearly 40 incredibly varied tracks that range from very hummable-mainstream-danceable, to abstract experimental soundscapes.

Here is the list of participants

Douglas Arney (corespondents)
David Bratton (Donkey Flamingo, Beep Repaired)
Cole Cunningham (Heck Ar, Dj Dogwater, Hollow Earth Radio)
Christopher DeLaurenti (Seattle Phonographers Union, The Stranger)
Nate Ellis-Brown (Lake of Falcons, Beep Repaired)
Olie Eshleman (Corespondents, Beep Repaired, My Peach is Pickled, Hollow Earth Radio)
Jake Fiolek (hollow Earth Radio)
Johhny Goss (Cock and Swan, Dandelion Gold)
Kieran Harrison-Buhlinger (Hecka Ar, Hollow Earth Radio)
Ola Hungerford (Cock and Swan, Dandelion Gold)
Garrett Kelly(Hollow Earth Radio, Beast Please Be Still, Beep Repaired)
James Key (unlearn)
Jason Kopec (noise | order records, unlearn)
Choncey Langford (choncey langford, guam, woodson lateral)
Emory Liu (Joy Wants Eternity, Beast Please Be Still, Beep Repaired)
Brendan Mills-McCabe (The Leisure Hive)
Amber Morgan (Hollow Earth Radio, Beast Please Be Still, Beep Repaired)
Ian Obermuller (Snowman Plan, Beep Repaired)
Kevin Parsell (Tectonic Plates, Dandelion Gold)
Greg Telvik (rcade digital)

All the tracks will be available for free download at whiteelephant.beeprepaired.com <http://whiteelephant.beeprepaired.com>  along with photosof the records used starting March 20th.

A few promotion CD's will be available though me if you rather. Just email me with your request if you want one.
Also please let me know if you or anyone you would like to be considered for participation in future games/projects

This project was a ton o' fun and the finished project is my favorite CD right now. Expect to hear from me in 3 months!

Thanks for listening.

[diem's list] a special one!

I know, it's late notice, however if you are not doing anything
TONIGHT get your arse on down to my friend D-Nice's "Women of the
World Poetry Slam Send-Off Show". She is the bestest slam poet ever in
the whole wide world -- really! It's tonight! Be there or you'll make
the bunny cry!

From the evite:
****************************************

Women of the World Poetry Slam Send-Off Show
Host: Denise Jolly
Location: Richard Hugo House
1634 11th ave, Seattle, WA US
When: Thursday, March 6, 7:00PM
Phone: 206-661-4373

Tara Hardy and Denise Jolly will soon be traveling to the first ever
Women of the World Poetry Slam competition in Detroit , Michigan .
You are personally invited to their send-off show. Why? Because they
both need your bon voyage voltage, and Tara needs your scores.


Scores? Yes, scores! While Denise will be the Divine Diva of hosting
bouts in the Motor City (and spittinâ?? a few poems on the side of her
own), Tara will be in the Motown ring competing (think mud-wrestling,
add poetry, stir). So, at the send-off show you will be invited to
score poems as Tara reads â??em (in order that she assess which poems
just might rip the rubber off the Walter Reuther Highway). Thatâ??s
rightâ??as Tara performs, youâ??ll be using that gorgeous and
automatic tallying machine that sits atop yer pristine neck to come up
with a number-grade for each poem. (For a few of you, this will be
your chance to grade the teacher. Heh heh.) But fear notâ??this is
fun, not daunting, and will be fully explained at the show.


Denise, instead of asking for scores, will simply be offering the gift
of her performance. As she elegantly weaves heart and gut and salt
and silk in the form of words (add flight and stir) youâ??ll be given
the opportunity to sit agape the poetic splendor she is.

You, our esteemed guest, have Denise and Tara â??s authentic promise
that they will inspire you to feel at least one of the following
things or your money back: frightful glee, riotous devotion, exuberant
dread, unnerved elation, reprieved sorrow, lawless gratitude,
disturbed hilarity, accidental joy (Whoops! Joy!), immoderate
nostalgia, willful debauchery, or just general unruly itchiness.

[diem's list] saturday is gonna be busy...

Saturday is gonna be busy! There are two major events:

1) Caucus! More info from Lolo below....SATURDAY Feb. 9th!
2) Bunnies! Bunnies! Bunnies, yo! SATURDAY Feb. 9th!

and a third:

3) diem recommends 2 shots of Obama daily to keep you healthy, wealthy, and wise

*****************************************
ALERT!  If you planned on not going to your caucus this saturday but rather voting in the primary election (as absentee or in person), think again!!!!  Sorry to break it to you, but Washington's Democratic Presidential Primary is 100% meaningless – it's an "advisory vote." Delegates at the national convention will be decided solely by the results of the caucus. Your vote for the presidential candidate will only count if you go to your caucus this saturday feb 9th from 1-5pm. 
 
If you're not registered to vote or you recently moved, no problem you can register right at your caucus!
 
If you want to forward this email to all your friends then please do. they can find their caucus location at:
 
 
Chose or Lose!
 
Lolo (sorry for cross posting)
 
See below:
The only way to get your vote counted in Washington is to go to a Caucus.
Why is Washington State having Caucuses and a Primary? The
Washington State Legislature was the body who voted to hold a primary.
The means that the Washington State Democratic Party, which chooses how
delegates are decided, had no participation in the decision to hold the
primary, which will cost $9 to $10 million. The Washington State
Democratic Party decided to choose their delegates through the
Caucuses, as it always has. As a result, your vote for a Democratic
candidate in the State Primary will not count toward delegate
selection.


*****************************************

Without further delay, I officially endorse Barack Obama for President. I know this has been a long time coming, and am excited to see him lead the country. I recommend watching the following video:


Also, he just swung up to lead the Democratic party in delegates:
