Passing the time at Bell Multicultural

Passing the time in line at Bell Multicultural –

By noon, most lines' early morning crowd had dwindled., but outside Bell Multicultural High School, Precinct 39, people were still lining up outside to enter the building to vote. They weren't idling, though. Most of them were occupying their time with reading or music. Here's a sample:

John Wehlmann was reading Children of Dune by Frank Herbert. He got through ten pages in line.

Ricardo Ortiz was perusing through Caramelo, a novel he had previously read, by Sandra Cisneros.

Henoch Gebreamelak was catching up on reading for his job.

Philip Mueller was reading the lastest issue of Smithsonian Magazine.

Morgan Dibble, a GW grad student in international affairs was reading two articles about McCain and Obama's foreign policies from Foreign Affairs Magazine.

Dakota Fine was listening to Will.I.Am's pro-Obama song "Yes We Can." He said it was helping him get pumped to go vote.

John Truesdall was listening to The Sea and Cake, "Lightning."
