  GOOD On Newsstands

  The first issue of GOOD is currently on sale at bookstores and newsstands across the country and in Canada. If you go to a store be sure to ask for GOOD – we may be sold out, but there is also a chance we are not in the front row. Furthermore, if they do not carry us now, they will know there is interest for next time. We are at every Barnes & Noble location, as well asselect independent bookstores, Borders, Dalton, and Follets bookstores. We are on sale at select Whole Foods locations and transportation hubs: airports such as LAX, San Francisco (pacific gateway concessions), Austin, Denver, JFK, and La Guardia. We are also at key spots such as Grand Central Station and Penn Station, and Fred Segal's Boutique in Santa Monica.

  Bull's Eye.

  Today something amazing happened.
  We were just sitting there, working hard, trying to get stickers in the first issue (shhh, it's a secret), and then some dude from Red Bull showed up with a mini fridge and 4 cases of Red Bull and Diet Red Bull. He said that whenever we run out they'll bring more. That's right, today we got sponsored by Red Bull.

  We were given a fountain of youth.

  Off to The Deadly Syndrome concert, juiced.

  A Music Note: Something So Right

  Those moments when you wish you were a rock star, when you scratch your head and think about stopping everything and wonder if it is too late to be a rock star. If there is a chance it could happen, it is worth stopping everything for that chance. All those thoughts come flash flooding over you when you hear The Deadly Syndrome sing, "I hope I become a ghost" — it's because they are on the cusp, because they are nobody, because they are what I want to be when I think about stopping everything for the chance to make music.
  Last night, in front of five people at the ranch, The Deadly Syndrome played their first ever show and it was great. They are playing again for the first time (in public) next Friday, the 28th, at The Unknown Theater in LA, 11pm. Don't miss it.

  Popular Vote, Yeah

  Newsflash: The Electoral College is outdated.

  People have stopped wearing silly white wigs.

  There is a brilliant and practical plan to override The Electoral College with a national popular vote. Hendrik Hertzberg outlined this plan several weeks ago in The New Yorker. Did you miss it? Then The New York Times wrote an editorial last week.

  Based on the ingenius suggestion of Stanford Professor John Koza, The Campaign for the National Popular Vote proposes that state legislatures, which have complete control over how their electoral votes are distributed, sign a pact to give all their votes to the candidate who receives the most votes nationally. This pact would take effect only when enough states sign the pact to declare a winner (i.e. 270+ electoral votes, or as few as eleven states). The bill, kicking around the Illinois State House, has been endorsed by the 100 Sun-Times newspapers in the Chicago area. If passed, this will introduce a radical concept into our presidential elections: The person with the most votes wins. Hot dog! Blue state voters and red state voters will matter again. Politicians will have to visit every state, not just the swing states. California babies will be kissed.

  This sounds to us like a great idea, an idea that needs energy, widespread awareness and support. Now we have a plan to make this happen. Once this gets passed, we will turn our attention to taking the ludicrous sums of $ out of politics. First things first: Let's win the campaign for a popular vote.
