I didn’t vote. I haven’t voted since 2000. I am in Denver and thus

1) forgot to register
and

2) didn’t really care.

I would care more if I were actually living in my registered voting area, but the absentee balloting didn’t really occur to me at anytime because i’d rather concentrate on school and watching movies. I do, however, think it’s really interesting how the Republicans came up with such a big victory. I’m not really political, probably lean more towards the republican side of things since that’s how I grew up, but I’d consider myself Independent. If there’s anything to say about this republican control, it’d be that these next 2 years are vital for the role of Republicans in the future. We are a nation on the edge of another war, in the middle of an economic slump, and on alert for terrorism at all hours. It’s a sad state of affairs for our nation, but this Republican control will have a much more extreme effect than the split congress. So I’ll probably keep up with more politics just to see what happens. That still doesn’t mean I’m interested in politics but rather in the effect of this new control.

On other notes, Eddie Kramer is here in Denver for the next three days. He is probably most famous for his production of Jimi Hendrix’s work, but he also worked with Led Zeppelin, Kiss, John Mayall, The Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, Curtis Mayfield, Santana, David Bowie, Derek and The Dominoes and others. He’s going to conduct a question/answer session this morning followed by setup for a band. He will record a select band’s song for in the span of these 3 days for us, the students, to observe what he does. I am looking forward to this because I know I’m going to learn more than I can handle for my brain.
