Again, another long day of music and fun in the sun.  I could write about all the great bands I saw and great times that were had, but that would only serve to make a jealous beast of you, and we don’t want that.  So instead I will present you with a conversation that I overheard today as I was walking in front of one of the midwests best and brightest.  This is not verbatim as I didn’t have a recording device at the time, but it is as acurate as I can honestly make it, and I really am refusing to embellish because it needs absolutely no help.

Girl Behind Me #1: I’ve seen so many Barack Obama t-shirts yesterday and today, it’s so crazy.

Girl Behind Me #2: I know, right?

Girl Behind Me #1: It reminds me of this convo I had with my mom the other day.  I was telling her about this idea I had, that I thought it would be a cool show if we could like look at and watch the people that wanted to be President, and then call in to pick who the President is. Like an American Idol but for the next President.

Girl Behind Me #2: Oh my gosh, that would be so cool.

Girl Behind Me #1: I know, my mom thought it was a really good idea.  Like, I thought it was a good idea, but you know how you always think your own ideas are really good, so when my mom said it was a good idea, I was like, ‘That is really a good idea’.

Now, you know me, I’m not one to judge, but… it is a great idea.  I liked it better when our country was founded on it over 200 years ago though.  I’m sure you could come up with a great name for it Girl Behind Me #1, but I like ‘Democracy’ a lot already, I think it has a certain ring of familiarity to it we can all kinda get behind.

Girl Behind Me #1: If you are reading (I’m not confident you know how), the United States presidential election will be held on November 4th.  You don’t need to use any of your airtime minutes, or text messages to cast your vote, you don’t even need a cell phone (OMG how effing cool is that!), all you need to do is register (it’s FREE!) and show up.

Mother of Girl Behind Me #1: See Above.

Everyone Else: Please share your ‘really good ideas’ with me.  As you can see, I’m a great person to discuss them with because my goal is to foster a comfortable environment where you can be open and honest without fear of ridicule. Also, they can’t be any dumber then this girls.
