So I showed Fahrenheit 9/11 on campus tonight...
and despite almost no promotion of the event we had a great turnout!

the thing that really moved me was i noticed a girl crying. i was so pleased that everyone came.

probably going to run it again.

oh yeah, handed out a whole bunch of "Hoeffel for Senate" signs for the students to put in their dorm windows.

i'd say a good night.

relatively conservative campus, but we have really dedicated liberals who try to raise awareness.

8. I'm in Indiana
Theology was a treat here...the students looked at the teacher like he was satan himself because he was trying to point out possible support for gays in the Bible.
