This from the ACDC, and I hope that if you’re on the edge about volunteering today or tomorrow, that you’ll decide to come to NoVA. Running up the numbers in NoVA will make a difference:

We are seeking volunteers to provide a variety of food, water and juice for campaign workers on Election Day, November 4, 2008. We desperately need fruit (suggestions: apples, bananas, pears, and plums), granola bars, breakfast bars all flavors; bottles of water; juice boxes, diet and regular coke, napkins and a variety of sandwiches. The number of volunteers we are trying to provide assistance is approximately 400.
These supplies will be distributed to Election Day volunteers, many of whom are working 13-hour days without break.
If you can help, please deliver items by Monday, November 3, to Gillian Burgess’s at 2607 Washington Blvd, Arlington. VA 22201. If no one is at home please put items in the backyard on the porch.

Finally, after all is said and done, there’s the Arlington victory party:

The Arlington Young Democrats, the Arlington County Democratic Committee and the Joint Campaign are teaming up to host the must-attend party of the year – the Election Night Celebration Party!Join us at Bailey’s in Ballston (in the Ballston Common Mall), where we have reserved two large rooms to accommodate what looks to be an impressive turnout of local Democrats! We will watch returns come in on the many TV’s, as well as hear from local elected officials and party leaders. This will be a very historic night – so come out and celebrate with a night to remember!
Wear your favorite Obama garb and come excited!
Our reserved rooms at Bailey’s are smoke-free for this event. The celebration starts after the polls close at 7:00PM.
I won’t be there, unfortunately (and I’d really like to make up for the last time I spend a Presidential election cycle night with the ACDC – 2000), but I’m sure it will be fun.

Lovely. They’re predicting rain during the afternoon in Northern VA.
If anyone’s got any extra umbrellas and you pass a polling place with a long line, perhaps lend out a few for people to share. Encourage the folks that you give them to to pass them back into the line for others to use when they are done with them.
