I can't believe it's November already

There is so much good stuff in our November update that I can't cover it all here, but I've gotta apologize to Nasty and some of the other French contributors for the 6 year delay in publishing their stuff. I keep thinking I've cleaned up my image in-box and keep finding [very] old surprises. Old but new are the ancient images from LA, thanks to Bravo. The unassuming Bristol link hides a trove of amusing stencils and interesting things. The unlikely "Ciber Stargass" has some very serious skills. Buford grapples with verbs until they sing in this month's Byline. This month's featured artist lineup is pretty impressive as well: Shok1, Rezine, Cyber Stargass, Fyse, Pryme, Nasty, Other, Moshe (first writer shown from Israel) ... and those are just the new additions. The Mac and Siloette kick ass and take names, while Denz shows us his recent sketch exhibition. Don't miss The Mac's portrait of Dondi.

War is Hell
AlterNet: Another Gulf War Vet Opens Fire is a story every man of draft age should read. War, no matter how short, can ruin the rest of your life in pretty spectacular ways.

Here's an article worth reading about Bush wars, even if you have to make up one more registration.

And if all else fails, there's always the Joy of Revolution.

But first try your hand at home-grown propaganda.

Old-School NYC trains needed for archive
The people behind the New York City Trains Mid-80s website (Cat 22 CTK and
Gio) are expanding the photo collection. They are looking for photos of
trains made during the mid-80s in NYC. With this expansion they will
try to complete the missing parts of New York graffiti history. If you
have any material you would like to see published, please contact the
webmaster at [email protected]

BBC did some feature recently about graffiti. I can't tell what it is because it's all in Real Audio. Maybe you'll enjoy it though, if you're already set up for RA.

Ruskig (Sweden) has a new site.

Paint Trains Online

Art Crimes has a new painting game online thanks to our friends at the Bronx Museum and Flat -- and a bunch of Steve's and Brett's hard work. Some 11,000 trains were painted in the first three weeks (!).
If you're fast, sometimes you can do a whole train before someone goes over one of your cars (tip: it's easier on the 6s and 7s). See what Yesca and Noxone have been doing to set the pace by viewing individual car histories. (Right now it takes a long time to view the history pages, but Brett's working on it.)

America, Vote on November 5 -- the life you save may be your own

Only 45% of registered voters have been voting in recent years, we're told. Not 45% of Americans, but 45% of the people who decided to exercise their duty to elect a representative government. Most of them have somehow been convinced that their vote doesn't matter. That's pathetic.

The young will inherit the earth, if the old don't kill the earth and the young first. You have to vote!

If they convince you voting doesn't matter, they can do whatever they want to! Voting matters!

We should have to all vote, like they do in Australia.

I vote. I even listened to Congresscritters arguing for days at a time with each other about whether it's a good idea to give George Bush the leash for the dogs of war.
I was *very surprised* to learn that we have a bunch of Democrats in Congress with cojones. They stood up and asked hard questions. They said the President was making a mistake. They asked whether the US would be shooting itself in the foot to open a war on another front now, at the risk of worldwide Jihad and testing Saddam's arsenal firsthand. They said it was unconstitutional and we'd live to regret giving the Executive Branch powers that belong to the Legislative Branch. They were right.

Problem: All across the country, these brave Democrats are facing tight races on November 5. Even if you are still brainwashed into thinking you don't matter, it's simply not true. Plus, it can't hurt to vote, right? Just do it.

These Congressional and local races are critical to the independent parties. Vote in a Libertarian city commissioner and see if it won't shake up the town. Get a Green mayor and see what happens. This is the election that affects you most, because these are the people who will make your life miserable or livable, wherever you live. If you aren't sure who to vote for, vote for all Democrats. They tried to save your ass from going to Iraq.

The Democrats have the majority in Congress by ONE VOTE. That means if we don't elect enough Democrats in November, President Bush will have a rubber-stamp Congress for all of his projects for the next 2 years, which is a VERY SCARY THOUGHT.

I wouldn't even mention this stuff to you if I thought it was safe to stay home and eat potato chips instead. Politics can kill you and everyone you love, especially this year. Get up and vote! If you aren't registered yet to vote, please do that now so you can vote in the next presidential election and talk to the registered voters around you about how important this election is.

You have been warned.
