...we will be live-blogging the election, beginning, most likely, in the late morning, between voting and going to Home Depot to buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Matt Pulle will be at county election HQ around 7 p.m., when early results start coming in; Jim Schutze will be contributing his essential commentary; I'll be in Farmers Branch (for a birthday party, no shit) in the early p.m.; and we'll all likely be at some of the frontrunning candidates' victory (or not) shindigs, except, of course, invite-only Ed Oakley's.
But since this is your blog too, dear Friend of Unfair Park, e-mail me during the course of the day with your experiences at the polls -- like, oh, I dunno, let's say you run into one of Harlan Crow's mercenaries or some such. Take yer cameras, all a ya. Forthcoming, of course, is Pulle's final mayoral candidates ranking, and based on late info, expect some surprises -- today and, of course, tomorrow. Oh, and if you want to have a happy tomorrow, we've still got some passes to an amazing tonight, when the astounding sorta-musical Once screens at the Angelika Film Center at 7:30, followed by a Q&A hosted by Yrs Truly and mini-performance by stars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, which shouldn't be missed by anyone with ears. Lemme know, asap. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
