...right) takes skill. The better you get, the more you are rewarded with surprises and new challenges. On a level called the Aerodome, for example, you ride through man-made lava, ice and jungles. In the Falls, you soar past waterfalls and skyscrapers. As you jump and duck, flip and soar, the only thing to fear is a wipeout. But in AntiGrav, there is no blood and gore--just hop back on your board and keep riding...

Before the Animal Collective took the stage, the NYC-based space-pop quartet Gang Gang Dance played. The band was a last minute replacement after Black Dice had to duck out due to family illness.

There will be a number of ways for liberals to respond to another questionable election loss like that of 2000.
