Voting is fun

Pretty historical day today. Or not really. It depends on the outcome of the vote, I guess. Stats geeks think it will be a monumental evening, which is encouraging. I recommend you vote today, although if you happen to be in Oregon you probably already voted, because we vote by mail because we're awesome. And if you are a Finnish citizen you probably can't vote in our election because 1) You have to be a United Statesian to be eligible and 2) American voting systems aren't equipped to understand your vote by fish methods.

Whether you voted or not, I recommend going to your nearest Ben & Jerry's and telling them that you did, because they will give you free ice cream. I'm giddy. My election night plans are as follows:

1) Pick up girlfriend.
2) Purchase burgers and fries from Five Guys.
3) Get free ice cream.
4) Watch results come in.

Oh yeah, and one more time, the Oden icon...

Get your hope here, Oden style

Multiple times I've touched on the rising Blazer fandom in Portland. What I haven't discussed is the rising fandom of the Obama variety. You know all those Obama t-shirts you can buy in your city? In Portland you can buy Obama socks. In Portland, you walk into an internet cafe and notice they are displaying an Obama art exhibit consisting of about thirty original Obama pieces by local artists. One Obama sign in the yard of your home really isn't enough here, if you want to stand out you better get seven to nine of those bad boys.

Which is one reason that these Obama inspired Oden logos are so perfect. Oden fits the familiar Obama rhetoric of change and hope pretty nicely too, especially in the eyes of Rip City. So enjoy these works sent to me by James Kurhaus. Use them how you see fit.








(G)Obama. Nod to SLAM for the Oden cover.
