I got home from work late this evening, and found hits on my blog for "Deadheads for Obama"... and I thought, oh how cool. That would be me!
Wait, all these hits?
Curious, I went over to trusty Dead.net and yeah! All right! (Sometimes, you are just so damned proud to be one.)
Here is the press release in its entirety. I guess they sold out in like five minutes or something?
I'll be listening; yall have a good time and be excellent to each other.
