involved

Last week found myself at a Counting Crows concert. Not only did a I get a free lawn ticket for giving blood, I also found a friend to sneak me into the lower pavilion, so I was pretty excited about seeing them up close, since they are my 2nd favorite 90s band and all.

Anyway the show was unfortunately only so-so (they could take a lesson or two from HBF when it comes to playing live and song selection). I could ramble on about that but thats not the point of this post.

Adam Duritz talked a lot. I think he was a bit intoxicated or otherwise unbalanced. He mostly told stories about the songs I hadn't heard before, but at the end of the night went into the voting schpel, which went something like this, "I don't give a flying f*ck who you vote for, but please vote. America is to be involved"

America is to be involved...I like that. It makes me feel patriotic. :) I love that we have the opportunity to be involved, even if we don't always take advantage of it. I think things are generally better when we do. While the election is getting sort of draining, it is still exciting, because at the moment people are involved and caring.
