The last two times I've voted, I've seen Tom Hanks. Last time out for the Presidential election, it was he and his wife, they parked next to me and walked in. This morning, he was right before me and then hamming it up for the old lady volunteers who couldn't give a shit about anyone else at that moment. If you wanted to vote, they didn't listen to you.

The last two times I’ve voted, I’ve seen Tom Hanks. Last time out for the Presidential election, it was he and his wife, they parked next to me and walked in.

It used to be this special moment where every bar drunk would actually try to be sober to see what’s happening in the commercial, but now, the short multi-million dollar spots are definitely a whole a step down from before. It can’t be that the folks who make them are less creative… Are they not as good because we have higher expectations?

Imagine, straight out of Japan, they're here to do some press, but master their album. So they did a quick meet and greet at GR2 yesterday. They have heavy fans in Japan, and one of their best traits is that they're still indie and people love them for that.
