I will say, in my initial enthusiasm, I think I said "there must be 300,000 people down here!" but that would have killed downtown. Given traffic leaving, etc... it certainly felt like a football game or 6th Street Halloween, which can get up there.<br /><br />I'd do more posts on live events, but we don't go anywhere all that often...

Always interesting to hear the perspective of the "man on the street" as opposed to the newspaper version of events. Also, I agree that the 50,000 number seemed conservative. There's no way that the crowd down there would have only filled half of DKR Stadium.J.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03903186469796595837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-47331558473021479112017-01-22T23:02:07.246-06:002017-01-22T23:02:07.246-06:00Thanks, man.

I'm lucky to work in a place where I know I don't need to keep this sort of thing on the downlow (I saw a number of my colleagues and they told me they'd seen others of my colleagues). Not everyone gets that privilege. And I'm very proud of Jamie for her drive to get us out there once the conversation was started. <br /><br />Let us hope that, even if no minds were changed from spectators (and I doubt they were), then we're seeing the beginnings of galvanizing a splintered and diverse body that tends to infight much more than it effectively makes a case for itself to the public. <br /><br />Keep doing your part in Canada, and we'll see what we can do to restore the America our neighbors believed inThe Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-57219211212377998012017-01-22T21:18:24.610-06:002017-01-22T21:18:24.610-06:00Seems weird to say this but I'm very proud of ...Seems weird to say this but I'm very proud of both you and Jamie.

No violence at all. Lot of families, very chill. Almost like a street festival, but with signs and people cheering speakers on a stage. Very glad I went. It was the elixir I needed after the dispiriting shitshow of the inauguration.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334865373173505274noreply@blogger.com
