If you can't make it to the NYC protests on Saturday...

truthout will be running a blog in the center of the web page. I'm going to be in NYC with my nifty new Blackberry uber-dork toy, filing reports from the street throughout the day. If you can't make it, check in with truthout tomorrow for the reports. I'll do the best I can to capture as much of what's happening as possible.

Will you be able to operate that thing when you're drunk? Might be dangerous...

until well after the protest is over. :)

about not touching the beer. ;)

I heard of something maybe at Copley

Doth thou know Sir William?

Something in Copley...

I'll be checking in from Detroit (Rock City).

There is one out here in Lake Orion near me but Detroit might be more fun.

I just meant I'll be checking into truthout on the net from Detroit because that's where I'll be tomorrow...

See ya there (I hope) I'm the one with the Democracy Now cap, red parka, green backpack with a flag stuck in the back.

:kick:

hopefully with thousands of my closest friends. :) But I can't wait to hear all about NYC when I get back.

I'm taking the digital camera so there will be pics of the Texas festivities tomorow night when I get home.

P.S. You are such a dork. ;)

ok

Don't call me cause I will be too probably.

He's the only person I know that isn't going protesting tomorrow. (And even he is gonna do the morning rally in Austin...so maybe he'll be in jail too.) :shrug:

I suppose we'll all just have to call my mom. :)

:shrug:

calling her "momma". If we stick our bottom lip out and sound really sad and contrite I'm sure she won't let us all rot in jail.

"momma" as well...must be a Texan thing.

and figure you're probably one of hers anyway and just send bail. :)

What, you want to torpedo you candidacy? I'm serious. Do NOT get yourself arrested. You owe it to every person who has contributed time and money to your campaign.

I am going to be tabling at the beginning and the end. I can't make the walk...my foot won't allow me to. So I will table.

I know better than to get arrested.

:)

Would have liked to have met you, Pitt.

:shrug: just wondering...........

(I have heard there's an 'after' meet up but nothing FOR the march)

"We can meet in front of Whole Foods At 24th St. and 7th Avenue. Madison Sq. is at 23-26 St. & 5th - two blocks away. We can meet at 11:00 or so. What do you think?"

Unfortunately I'll only be able to make the post-march activities though...

since she can't be there.... ???
