Yes, definitely keep breathing. I cried looking at the slide show of No on 8 office–all those people! And you’re doing an amazing job helping people see just what they can DO now.

I just kicked in another little contribution from our family–looks like 3 or 4 people have contributed since I first checked this morning, and we’re coming up on $17K! That thermometer is a cool thing.

Self-same! The lil’ peanut has been waddling around the house going “Tradishuuuuuuuuun!” over and over again for weeks.

I’ll be at that same Sunday matin�e, too! With our girlie. So since I’ve plastered her mug all over this blog, I feel we have a good chance of running into one another.

It’ll be a great show. And ironic, too, at the end of this week. A father coming to terms with his daughters’ breaking with tradition, marrying (gasp!) whom they love. Regardless.

I’m feeling rays of hope, too, from the ACTION JACKSON! updates on the visibility Yahoo! group. Lots and lots of people — including my frigging 87 year old father!!! — are hauling their bodies out to intersections bearing witness to love and justice.

Inhale. Exhale.

This is off-topic, but… would your wife’s theater company happen to be producing Fiddler on the Roof? If so, then I do believe my cousin is in her company.

(I live in San Francisco and just graduated from college, and have been reading your website for a couple months now–I love it, it gives me images of my future, and lots of food for thought. My aunt/uncle/cousin live in Berkeley, and I’ll be going to Fiddler next weekend for the Saturday matinee! Small world. Disregard, of course, if I am wrong, but seriously, how many youth theater companies in Berkeley can there be with the same opening date?)

Also, I voted today in SF (waited THREE hours in line) and there were at least two dozen No on 8 folks out by City Hall, which I thought was wonderful–the perfect last chance to cement in people’s minds that it’s NO they’re voting. I’m devoting all day Tuesday to doing just that. It’s tight. But I think we can do it.

Um, er. Well my limited understanding would be, spread it far and wide. So if you can grab the URL and email it all over the place to friends, do so. Anyone who has a blog who can post it, do that too.

“Digging” it, and “stumbleuponing” it helps, too. Though if backed agaist a wall, I’m not sure what that entails. If you do, though, gwan and Digg/stumbleupon it.

Here’s “Going viral with YouTube,” on PandemicBlog. The scoop.

Okay, I feel stupid. How do I help it “go viral”? I tried viewing it in youtube, and clicking “replay” each time it ended, but the play count never changed. I did give it a 5-star rating, but how else can I boost it in their charts? I assume that’s what “go viral” means, yes?
