For bringing this over here to DU.

I'm RedJet by the way. I signed up a while back on DU and can't remember why I didn't use RedJet. Sometimes it is already taken, or I had issues with the sign-up - anyway, I'm RedJet.

Meeting Edwards was amazing. I wrote the diary in a lighthearted way because there have been many diaries written about the strike.

I think what I came away with, other than the obvious giddiness, was how much his presence really uplifted the crowd. No matter how you look at it or how you feel about his participating, it meant a lot to those who were there on the picket line.

And they are the ones who we are talking about right now.

I think the feeling is that this is a hard upward battle for them. I heard one person say they were grateful someone came out because they needed all the support they could get.

Anyway, back to the girly stuff - he's gorgeous in person!

:)

And if someone wants to call me a suck up, I'll take it and gladly. But I don't think it was an accurate description of either Edwards or the Writers. Just my opinion.
