OMG! It's time for SXSW again!

I'll be every where, all week long, meeting as many people as possible and checking out super cool panels like : Politics, Technology, and Pop Culture. Where else can I see Obama girl and Mark McKinnon talk about internet strategy and the future of politics, then go have a taco with them both?

Wish you were here. And if you are, come find me*!

Mention this blog for a free HUG!

Oh so lovely all you 2.5 million first time voters!

You showed up at the polls in record number, cast your ballots (even when seriously discouraged), registered and mobilized your friends,and TOTALLY effected the election results!

18-30yo voters chose Obama by 66% where other age demographics were almost evenly split. The decisive election results were tipped by Americans under 30 years old!

I hope with all my heart you will continue to be a part of our amazing democracy (even if your candidate lost) and continue to spread your passion among friends and family.

Voting Is Beautiful,

Ok, lovelies, if you are ready to practice your safe voting- IT'S TIME!

Find your early voting polling place on the coolest google map EVER! maps.google.com/vote

Take a friend! Early voting (where available) is district-wide, meaning friends from different precincts can vote together.

Need a free ride to the polls? Call your local political party headquarters! Volunteers are standing by to take you to vote!

If you wait to vote on Tuesday, November 4th, you will have to find your precinct polling place and be sure to set aside the time needed to vote. And be sure you don;t get the flat tire-sick dog-stomach flu on Tuesday!

And if you can't figure out where to go, or when, just google (the name of your county + elections).

Go.Vote.Now.

Dear Lovely VoterVs,

We here in Austin are now officially on a "break" while we relocate, get the car running, and deal with a few health issues.

You can still register to vote, explore your passions, and feel free to be absolutely weird on Wednesdays while you wait for our return. Don't hesitate to be in touch if you have an urgent question.

Voting is Beautiful,

Teresa and the VoterVirgin crew

One of the deadlines to register to vote (if you want to vote in the presidential primary) is TODAY April 11th.

OR you can One Stop Register and Vote between April 17th and May 4th (NOT ON PRIMARY ELECTION DAY - May 6th) Geesh!

AND if you are registered to vote, but your friends missed the deadline, drag their procrastinating selves to One Stop right?

And YES, if you are a student, you can register to vote where you attend school. Just don't vote in two places.

Got it? Whew!
