Apparently my school decided to make up for me not being able to see Michelle Obama this afternoon by having Martin Sheen come on Tuesday afternoon. He's coming at 2:15 and I do have a midterm at 4:30 (ugh I don't even normally have the class the midterm is in on Tuesdays, but he wanted everyone to be able to have as much time as possible) but I'm thinking it won't take that long. I mean, I'm basing it on the Kal Penn thing which was only a little over an hour, and even if this thing is 2 hours long, I should be able to still make it. The weird thing is... like, I would expect him to come for Obama, but the flyer I read said that he's coming to support Al Franken (the Democrat running for Senate in MN). But whatever, it'll be cool to see him. And I support Al Franken (even though I'm not voting in MN, I'm voting in CA). So hopefully I'll get to do that.

Also, Wind Ensemble today was canceled, so today is a little less crappy then I thought it would be initially. Not that I don't like Wind Ensemble, but having an hour or so more to get stuff done today is very desirable.

The conventional wisdom is that MN is firmly Obama's territory right now. Franken's odds of winning a Senate seat are good, but it's nice to see people like Martin Sheen coming out to support him. I'm sure he'll find a way to talk about the presidential election in some way, have fun :)

Yeah, I mean, it makes sense on that level, but I guess I don't understand why Martin Sheen is coming to MN for Al Franken. Like, does he have some sort of special relationship with Al Franken? Is he just traveling from state to state supporting whatever Democratic candidate for Senate is running? I'm assuming he'll elaborate on this a little tomorrow, but that's the part that's confusing me right now.

Thank you! I'm sure it'll be lots of fun. :)
