Albany -> PA to Canvas for Team Blue. Want in?
A couple redditors and I are going down to Pennsylvania next Saturday, the 26th, for a full day of knocking on doors to get out the vote for Team Blue.
We've done this couple times before and it's been a great experience both times. It makes you feel like you're living in a Norman Rockwell painting for an afternoon, or an episode of Parks & Rec.
It'll be a long day for sure. Leaving Albany early - about three hours of driving down to Easton - and back late. But if you've been toying with the idea, this is a chance to be a part of it because we've still got two seats left in the car. DM or chat me if you're interested.

What are the chances of New York ever enacting billboard bans?
We've all seen them; giant signs blocking views, distracting drivers, and just generally being a nuisance. In recent years they've moved to full-on bright video screens that cause glare for night driving.
Four other states ban billboards; should New York consider becoming the fifth?
