I was at the October 6 antiwar rally in Freedom Plaza Washington DC today. There were plenty of cops although they stayed out of sight. There were several thousand people. David Rovic sang , speeches etc. I got in a two hour jam with a couple of young hobos and a couple of old fiddlers and banjo picker. There was an organizers' bossiness to the event that was off-putting and it so far does not have the kind of brisk intention I usually witness in San Francisco or Sacramento. Most attendees I spoke with however are sure the crowds will swell over the coming weeks. Big presence of Veterans for Peace and other vet groups. It took more than an hour to find a two-hour parking space. Plenty of media but whether the footage makes it past the front office is doubtful--no blood.
I should be in New York later today to be the guy with the banjo-uke on Wall Street. Dan Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
