In other news, I skipped last week's Kansas International Film Festival entirely because I was too busy with other activities and too broke. I'm sure I missed some good flicks--there were several I wanted to see, especially last weekend. For similar reasons, I am skipping the Buster Keaton Celebration in Iola, Kansas, this weekend for only the second time in 12 years. That's sad, but this year's program isn't the most exciting I've ever seen, and gas costs more than ever.
We still have plans, though, revolving around Andrea's birthday, which is Monday. On Sunday night we're going to see Rodney Crowell and Will Kimbrough in Columbia, and on Monday I'm going along with her to see Ani DiFranco in Lawrence.

Obama's Missouri Campaign Uses Horse Sense in Voter Registration Drive (Kansas City Star): "Jim Vokac, a 61-year-old Missouri Campaign for Change volunteer from Howell County saddled up his Missouri Foxtrotter, Hester, for a 'Horse Sense Canvass' around his traditionally Republican hometown of Willow Springs. Howell County volunteers, working out of the West Plains Missouri Campaign for Change office, are planning further horseback canvasses this election season."
Organic Food to Be Cheaper Than Other Produce (Telegraph): "A study suggests that the price of oil could soon make cereal crops grown with fertilisers more expensive than those produced more naturally."
Honda's Got Prius Envy (Wired): "Honda's finally pulled the sheet off the world's cheapest hybrid, a $19,000 five-seater that resurrects the Insight name and looks a lot like the car it's meant to unseat as the must-have ride of the eco-conscious set."
