1. Nope. I wasn't going to do it anyway.

I stuck to wearing blue, I think that's way better. All blue, even my umbrella.

4. I Saw Two 20-Somethings, Both Wearing Black Hoodies

It's hard to tell if that's just what they always wear, or if it's "Mosh" related.

6. I did............

and I'm 53! I don't know if anyone caught the significance of it, but I thought I'd give it a try. You're never too old to spur change.

9. Right... That's Why I Couldn't Automatically Assume

That it was "Mosh" related.

But I hope it was. That would rock.

5. Blue, baby!

I'm going blue too - and headed out to the polls in NY shortly. I'm so excited to vote, and this will be my 4th time voting for president. Clinton - Clinton - Gore - Kerry.

And ... no one stole my Kerry/Edwards sign last night off my front lawn!!! I'm shocked!

17. I wore mine, I got VOTE in silver duct tape on the back

Drove past several African American precincts playing Mosh and the election protection volunteers are all waving and cheering me on.

Come along, follow me, as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me, and I wont steer you wrong
Put your faith in your trust, as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel we gon’ fight
We gon’ charge, we gon’ stomp
We gon’ march through the swamp
We gon’ mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors
Come on..

20. Yep. My husband and I wore ours and scared a little old lady

half out her wits. We're seniors, so it was kind of funny to see the looks on people's faces. It's a small town that should be called Republicanville. The poor woman was coming towards us, so we tried to make a sign with our hands and all we could manage was the one "gang" sign we know - the Vulcan Live Long and Prosper sign. She RAN.

Also, our sons went in their disguise - conservative young men. When we got home, the youngest complained about the lack of Socialists on the ballot.

28. See if you can find the 'Mosh' video by Eminem (sp?)....

It's an anti-shrub music video. Em wears a black hooded pullover in it.

26. I saw one

There was a guy voting that was probably just over 18 and he was sporting a black hoodie.

I actually wore a black hooded sweater which I guess would sort of count (and I didn't even think about it until I was leaving lol)

And if all the elderly people I was voting with were wearing black hoodies, I would have been surprised.

Our news covered a few shots of the lines both here and in some of the other states. I saw hoodies in every line - or at least a black sweatshirt. :D

...until I got home and found out I was making an unintentional, albeit welcome statement. Irony! I am also a bit old for this demographic.
