And they need the address of the Guthrie Center, too... here it is, if you don't already know it:

4 Van Deusenville Road
Great Barrington, MA 01230

Thanks, Wyld! Now if we can only get 50 people a day...!

Push the announcement to your Facebook and MySpace pages.

Done!

I voted, and put it on my Facebook page. Thanks, Deb!

My vote's in!


mikey

Did my duty and voted.

I voted and put it on my facebook page

It may be rude but I posted it to Arlo's FB Fan page too. I really don't want to go back to Great Barrington and find a quickie mart on that corner. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but that Church is more than Alice, more than Arlo, more than the Guthries. It's living proof that people can be good to one another and that is how we get through whatever we must. Call that noobieness but that's the idea that keeps me going.

I voted......Though since I'm in Florida I'm a little worried they might not count it......

I voted. Thanks for the address!

I'm not in Mass either. Didn't see anything about having to live there to vote.

No worries....every vote counts as long as it is from a permanent resident of the U.S. who is 18 years old!

Oh shit! I'm 52, so my vote won't count?

No really!!! Florida routinely has voting situations that make you feel like you're in a "Twilight Zone" episode, especially in rural places like where I live......
