Friendly reminder that almost half of the states in the U.S. have same day registration! This means you can go to the polling center for your location, register there, and cast your vote same day. So if you are over 18, are a U.S. citizen, and live in one of the states listed below, it is not too late to register and vote! I’m going to put notes for some of the states where voting is extra important due to the political climate of the state.

California

Colorado

Connecticut

D.C.

Hawaii

Idaho

Illinois

Iowa - recent polls indicate state could flip from red to blue

Maine

Maryland

Michigan

Minnesota

Montana

Nevada

New Hampshire

New Mexico

New York

North Carolina - swing state! Could go red or blue

North Dakota - voter registration not required

Utah

Vermont

Virginia

Washington

Wisconsin - swing state! Could go red or blue

Wyoming

Reports are coming out that Harris is leading in Iowa.

So what does this mean for Iowa voters?

Iowa was red in 2020 and has historically been red. As someone who lives in AZ, a red state that is now a swing state, it is entirely possible to flip a state or at least make the Republican Party sweat. So if you are in Iowa and were considering not voting because “your vote won’t count in a red state anyways”, please get out and vote.

Obviously polls can be inaccurate, but how great would it be if we could flip a state that republicans considered an easy victory?

Iowa also allows same day in person registration!!! So if you are over 18 and a U.S. citizen who resides in Iowa it is not too late! Click here for info on voting in Iowa: https://voterready.iowa.gov/registertovote/

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn - Room of Angel 2004

Silent Hill 4: The Room is a 2004 survival horror game developed by Team Silent, a group in Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and published by Konami. The fourth installment in the Silent Hill series, the game was released in Japan in June and in North America and Europe in September, for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Windows. Its soundtrack was released alongside the game in 2004. It was composed by Akira Yamaoka with lyrics written by Joe Romersa and series writer Hiroyuki Owaku, and sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. The Japanese version featured a second disc containing music by series composer Akira Yamaoka played along to the reading of traditional Japanese stories.

"Room of Angel" plays during the start-menu sequence when the screen is left idle, during the opening credits (albeit with no lyrics), and during Cynthia Velasquez's death scene. Some of the lyrics seem to relate to Cynthia, while others refer directly to Walter Sullivan's relationship with Room 302 - his "mother" - and his absent biological parents. The song also plays at the end of a 16-minute preview of "Inescapable Rain in Yoshiwara", the ghost story included with the Japanese release of the game's soundtrack.

"Room of Angel" received a total of 67,1% yes votes!

Halloween is approaching and we have been highlighting some of the odd, creepy, absurd, or stranger cuts in our print shop, especially from the Lewis Winter Collection.

Lewis Winter had a photo and wood engraving business at 627 J Street in Sacramento from 1888 until 1910 when he closed his business to teach art at Sacramento High School. Much of these cuts were designed for advertising purposes in local Sacramento newspapers.

In this video, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) likely used in a men’s hat advertisement. This man, however, has three heads. He’s wearing a nice suit to go along with his two top hats and derby hat. This was printed with blue rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.
