13. The more the merrier, imo

One of the orgs asked for my name and email, which I gave. But that’s just for contact purposes — nobody’s taking attendance. Show up, make new friends.

The only problem I have at the moment is the evident lack of organization here — where I lived before I participated in a ton of anti-BushCheney resistance, and if someone announced a rally & march starting at a date and time you could bet it would be happening. If a variety of groups were co-ordinating, same thing.

Here, to my bafflement, I have received a number of contradictory emails with links, ultimately leaving me with the impression that two rallies will take place in one small city, one from 10-12 and the other from 11-1, miles apart. Or maybe only one rally. Somewhere.

So I’m going to go to the location announced for 10am, and presuming anyone’s there I will ask questions to see if anyone is in charge. I’ll be wearing a political t-shirt and a sun-hat, and carrying a home-made sign.

Enjoy!
