2000 Elections

Your Local Polls

Anywhere, USA

Tuesday, November 7, all day, FREE!

Now that the Clintons are out of the Oval Office for good, Americans can put the era of scandals behind them and select a Commander-in-Chief we can trust. Our two outstanding candidates, Democrat Al Gore (our slim, clean shaven VP) and Republican George W. Bush (Yale's finest cowboy and scholar) will duke it out this November. Who will best manage the $230 billion surplus? Who will appoint the brightest and most qualified to his cabinet? Who will ensure America's international reputation as leader of the free world through peace and diplomacy? All these burning questions and more will be decided in what is sure to become a legendary election. So get out there and vote, Quakers, and remember that every chad counts!

Our American Cousin

Ford's Theatre, 511 10th Street, Washington, D.C.

April 14th, 1865, 5 cents

From the company that debuted The Marble Heart, comes Our American Cousin, an explosive new show opening this week at Washington's Ford's Theatre. Written by Tom Taylor and starring the dashing John Wilkes Booth, this three-act play is sure to amaze, inspire and surprise; it will be marked in history as one of fiery, dramatic prowess. In attendance will be President Lincoln and wife Mary Todd, celebrating Lee's surrender this past Saturday at Appomattox Court House and enjoying a relaxing evening. Our American Cousin promises to be a shocking and groundbreaking production... "The spark this damn country needs!" according to Booth, esteemed member of the theatre's actor's guild. Horse and buggy on down - what better way to spend your Good Friday?

Woodstock Music and Arts Fair

Max Yasgur's Farm

Bethel, New York

Aug. 15 to Aug. 18, 1969, Free (love)

Escape from the craziness of the city. Walk around for three days without seeing a skyscraper or a traffic light. Roam through acres of Bethel, experiencing the outdoors. Get ready to feel the music and peace. Listen to the best musicians of our time: the Who, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix and 27 others. Camp out; water and restrooms will be supplied. Woodstock promises to be three uncomplicated, unhurried, calm days celebrating the beauty that is music. New York officials say they will maintain order and are prepared to handle traffic, crowd control and sanitation. And remember, BYO condoms.
