Back from Toronto, off to Coventry.

Time to start cracking down on rehearsals for the May 6 “Americanized” show at the BPC. I’ve also got to send flyers down to them. Will print some later.

The Laureate election is close — damn close: I still lead Rob McClennan by ten votes at the moment. If you’ve got time and inclination and haven’t voted yet, it would be great if you could go do that here:

The margin is slim, and the election only goes through Tuesday. I don’t want to start having to court superdelegates, especially when I don’t have a clue as to who they might be.

I’ve posted this whole very silly campaign to the Yahoogroups slamlist, and I need to get it onto the regular slam forums today too…gonna go do that now. I have to be honest here: I certainly started treating this as a joke and it still basically is one, but now that I’m in the lead, it would seem that the joke must now be carried to its natural conclusion, which is to go all out to win. Destiny is hard.

So go — spread the word. Get people to vote, and let’s make this a surge that will actually be over at a clearly defined time.
