Illinois & Missouri Voting Information
Because I hail from the eastern side of the Mississippi River, I thought it would be pretty useful to include links to both states. Remember that voting for everyone is Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Some areas allow early voting. Here's a few links to help you get started (listed alphabetically):
*Illinois*
*Missouri*
*USA*
Don't know if you're registered?
Or where to vote?

Jerry's Cathartic New Play premiers at LGBT Center
Secrets & Catheters
solo show written & performed by Jerry Rabushka
Friday, November 12th
Saturday, November 13th
8:00PM
The LGBT Center of St. Louis
625 North Euclid Avenue, Ste. 420
St. Louis, MO 63108
From the Facebook event:
Jerry's new play asks the question his critics have been asking for decades... why should anyone go see his show? It's a play that starts out wondering if it should be on stage, wondering how it should get written, even how it should market itself... and yet, in the end, we do have a show!
His new one-act "Secrets and Catheters"—and you've gotta have some kinda guts to put the word Catheter in any title—will take you on a journey through hole-in-the-wall diners across the Midwest, to a game of Jeopardy with some really bizarre contestants and categories, and through the minds and souls of characters who are desperate for that usual trio of love, attention, and acceptance.
Finally, all the characters Jerry's used to populate his plays meet together for one bloody showdown.
Directed by Robert Beck.
$10 gets you in!
