Showlist for August 29th 2008

Hey all-

well i have started to dress up the blog page a little bit. nothing groundbreaking, but it is a start.

that Obama can give a speech huh? I am pretty jaded when it comes to politicians, but he has my attention. he seems fresh, and interesting. he seems to be a change from the usual politician. and i really like that he is activley avoiding turning the presidential race into a chrachter war. that would be nice.

not too excited about Joe Biden, though. i know he makes a lot of sense on paper. it's just that i've met the man. not real impressive. pretty much same old same old. here's to hoping i am wrong on him.

anyway, a TON of new shows added. always can use more submissions. have a great Labor day weekend. just avoid the Bay Bridge.

later,
pete
