3. I'll be there...here's the info from the Kerry campaign
For Immediate Release
October 22, 2004


"Election Night Celebration with John Kerry and John Edwards" At
Boston's Copley Square
Set for Tuesday evening, November 2nd

Washington, DC. The Kerry-Edwards campaign announced that the City of
Boston and Mayor Tom Menino will host "Election Night Celebration with
John Kerry and John Edwards" in Boston's Copley Square Tuesday evening,
November 2nd.

"Boston is home, it's where we started our campaign, it's where John
Edwards and I were nominated and it's where we will finish our
successful campaign for the White House," said the Democratic nominee
for President John Kerry, "Mayor Menino and the city of Boston hosted a
world class convention this summer and we appreciate all the hard work
they did in hosting our national party convention. We are honored that
they will host our victorious election night celebration," Kerry added.

"This celebration is a great way for us to pay tribute to our hometown
candidate, Senator John Kerry and the important issues that his campaign
has been fighting for. I am confident that the same cooperation that was
employed among our local, state, and federal authorities for this
summer's Democratic National Convention will ensure the safest and most
secure event possible on Election Night," Mayor Menino said.

The Night's Festivities
Copley Square will be where the public can watch election returns and
will be treated to performances and appearances by special guests and
musical entertainers, culminating with John Kerry and John Edwards's
victory speeches. Details of the full program will be released in the
coming days.

Copley Square
Copley Square is one of the city's most attractive open spaces.
Created in 1916 on the site of the original MIT campus, Copley Square is
ringed by some of Boston's best known architectural jewels including:
H.H. Richardson's Trinity Church; Charles Follen McKim's Boston Public
Library; New Old South Church; and I.M. Pei's Hancock Place office
tower. Copley Square is also well known the world over due its
proximity to the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

The Boston Public Library (BPL) will serve as the backdrop and focal
point for the election night festivities. Rich in tradition, the BPL
was established in 1848, and was the first publicly supported municipal
library in America as well as the first public library to lend a book,
the first to have a branch library and the first to have a children's
room. The august McKim Building of the BPL which faces Copley Square is
a National Historic Landmark and was recently renovated and restored to
its original splendor.

6. God, I *wish* I was home....
Have a beer for me boys!

My local Texas news this a.m. sees it a sure thing for Bush* but then urges everyone to get out and vote (I think they just suppressed their own vote, but hey, what do I care!)

But, to be in Copley after a Red Sox and a Presidential victory: heaven.

It depends on whether or not we want to bring our 1 year old out late...if it's not too cold we might go for it.

14. I think the rain means no :-(
Out late is one thing, out late in somewhat chilly weather in the rain will be too much for the little guy. I will be there in spirit!

13. I most likely will. I am up near Nashua, NH right now
and it's not a far trip down the road.. I probably will be too antsy to sit at home and watch this on tv.
