The vote got out man. It got out.

Wow, the line for early voting at the Indianapolis courthouse goes around the block, and they’re in a pretty good mood for people in a 2-3 hour line. I just walked by it, and I am pretty freakin’ inspired. (I don’t know why, but it seems wrong to use the adjective “fucking” there.) On one hand, I wish the election board had set things up more locations, but on the other, man, that’s quite a display of a lot of people enthusiastic about voting! We got out the fucking vote, at least in Marion County. (But for some reason “fucking” is fine there.) There’s quite a few Obama buttons, and the bootleg Obama merchandisers are doing great.

We’re fortunate that there’s such good weather (it’s about 80 °F, despite the November status of the day), but we are also benefiting from the fact that someone at the campaign had the foresight to secure city permission to have a band play feel-good gospel-type music across the street. And that the people are inspired enough to wait that long.

Also, some man in a suit by the line shook my hand for wearing Wu emblem. No one in a suit has ever commented on my Wu-Tang shirt. I think that after we spoke briefly about voting, I said something like, “Yup. Obama. Wu,” and he nodded even though that didn’t really make much sense.
