"Remember, remember the 5th of November

the Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I can think of no reason
why the Gunpowder Treason
should ever be forgot."
I will always remember where I was when Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States and the first African-American president in the 220 plus years that this country has been electing presidents. I was at a soda fountain, getting a Coke with Katherine after ordering chili dogs. Then Barack wins the White House. Amazing shit. I wouldn't have liked to have shared that hour with anyone else.
As for today, it's Guy Fawkes day. For anarchists, this is a special day. Catholics, maybe. Alan Moore fans might just be wetting their pants, and probably taking their V for Vendetta/Guy Fawkes masks out to play.
Today is also my father's birthday. Happy birthday, Dad. Love ya.
NEVERENDER starts today. Ryan's going to be on his way down here in a few hours and after I get out of make up today, I'll be heading to Hollywood to see my absolute favorite band play live. For the first time in over a year, my third time seeing them overall. And they're not just playing tonight. I get to see them for the next three nights also. And meet them.
Holy shit this is a crazy week.
P.S.
Day One of Shirts I Found was a complete success.
