My name is Annie Gill and I am very happy to be blogging for UpStart. I will be focusing on how the coming election is affecting the show business world and other performance based art. I’m American and I’m enjoying learning about the Irish political system and what the Irish people want/need from a new government. And I am happy to be able to say that no matter what happens, at least you don’t have to worry about Sarah Palin running your country.
