Pumpkins For Obama!

This photo comes via "Yes We Carve" where you are invited to "download, carve and share" your Obama pumpkin, or "Barack O'Lantern" as they say on the site. Some are pretty good!

This one's my favorite though:

**reminder tonight's debate #3 at 6pm EST**

VP Debate tonight @ "The Exchange"

Tonight is the much anticipated Vice Presidential debate between (D)Sen Joe Biden and (R)Gov Sarah Palin. There was to be a last minute opportunity to view the debate. It had been posted recently on downtown bulletin board groups NewDowntown & Downtown LA Life, respectively. Unbeknown to me, there were no follow-up approval made, so I went to the location where I found it had been canceled.



Instead,"The Exchange" (or DLANC HQ as most of us may know it) will be host to some pro-Obama phone banks every Saturday and Sunday from 1-4pm. Also every Monday at Morona Kiang Gallery from 5-8pm 218 W 3rd Street in the Bradbury Building. You will need to bring your own phone with you to participate, as "The Exchange" does not currently have a DSL or phone line.

Phone banks are not my thing, but may be yours. Hope you enjoy the debate wherever you watch it.

"Art for Obama"

For those not subscribing to the 'new downtown' yahoo group, Bert Green posted a reminder about a political fund-raiser for Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

The fundraiser, "Art for Obama" takes place at two galleries Tuesday, September 23, 2008 from 6-9pm & is $20 per person admittance. You'll want to go to:

Bert Green Fine Art:
102 West 5th St
Los Angeles, CA 90013

Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (LACDA):
107 West 5th St
Los Angeles, CA 90013

According to the mailer, 10% of all art purchases will also be donated to the Obama Campaign. Also Bert Green states:

"An original oil portrait of Barack Obama and a special giclee print will be available at Bert Green Fine Art. Art for Obama is a series of fund raising events founded by Bruce McBarnette to benefit the Obama campaign. For info visit:
http://mcbarnette.com/charity "

A pretty cool sounding event, and if you are looking to add something to your art collection and support Obama, Tuesday night is a good night as any to do it. ;)
