Knox for Dean
Tonight was the first meeting of Knox for Dean. I was the only non-student there; a little over 30 students showed up. Some were gung-ho, some just wanting to hear more about Dean. Cool meeting nonetheless. They're working on getting him to speak here, which is not totally crazy to hope for, given that he's been mentioning Galesburg and the Maytag plant closings left and right. That would be So. Damn. Cool.
"I've had enough of being a gay icon! I've had enough of all this hard work, because, since I came out, I keep getting all these parts, and my career's taken off. I want a quiet life. I'm going back into the closet. But I can't get back into the closet, because it's absolutely jam-packed full of other actors." --Sir Ian McKellen
