- Monday, October 4th WFSU-TV will be holding our final Bandwagon Event of the 2010 political season: 33 candidates in 14 local contested races (including some U.S. Representative races) will appear live on our educational access channel and website (wfsu.org). Each gets 3 minutes to say why people should vote for them. If they go longer than 3 minutes, the microphone is cut and a Barbershop Harmony group performs. We've done this since 1997. It can be a wild and crazy event with hundreds of supporters in our studio. I'm producing and one of the hosts. If you're interested in checking it out go to wfsu.org at 7pm (eastern).

"My wife was ordered into bed rest by her doctor two weeks ago and then we had our baby 2 days early -- he was supposed to be born today (July 26) but we had a bit of an emergency Friday night and he was born Saturday morning. We get discharged tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to get myself up on the site tomorrow night or Wednesday night."
I thought you might like to know and send congrats! It's mburrows@scetv.org -- until he has a free minute...

best, Judith
