[TexasLawyer]

We're famous--CNN's home page links to a photo of our event!

hit the "peace" sign at the box called Gallery: Protests on war anniversary

1. Cool!!!! If it wasn't for the Internet, we wouldn't even know there were

protests going on all over the country and around the world. The TV does not seem to be aware of it all..

2. Cool!

I wanted to go, but by the time I was finished at the eye doctor with two kids, it was too late.

3. Take the poll on that page!

And click on the link to the international protests!

4. Holy Crap, That's Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the blue shirt with the white flag on it. I was also interviewed by the KPFT reporter, but she interviewed a lot of us so I don't know if it will air. I'm sure someone will let me know if they hear it.

5. Yes it is, WestHoustonDem

Congratulations to our Houston activists!

6. Hmmph! I feel left out of your 15 minutes!

I was up ahead of her a ways... I wanna be on CNN too darnit!

:hippie: :silly:

[PDittie]

7. Well, you made Houston Indy Media

and that's really better:



Y'all both look terrific, and so does the rally!

[Lisa0825]

16. Cool! Thanks!:-)

I'm famous! Yeehaw!!!:bounce:

[babylonsister]

13. Lisa, again, many thanks for your help!

I enjoyed the day and, as you can see, made it home in one piece!

[babylonsister]

8. You go, girl! You DID get your 15 minutes

yesterday!

[WestHoustonDem]

9. Great meeting you yesterday babylonsister!

Hope we run into each other again soon!

[babylonsister]

11. Likewise, WHD! I wouldn't have gone if

it weren't for you and Lisa. I again thank you both!

Edit to ask: how many do you think showed up yesterday? My estimate was about 100, but I could be way off.

[WestHoustonDem]

14. I'm thinking 200+

At least by the end of it.

[merci_me]

10. Great job everyone!!!

Lyn, is that gal, second to the right of you (left in the pix) Vaughn? It looks like her and I think maybe that looks like the shirt she was wearing at the WHDC meeting earlier in the day? (on edit: never-mind. I just went to the blog and see Vaughn had a different shirt on yesterday, but I've seen her wear one, much like this pix.)

Also, the guy a bit back over your right shoulder, wearing a black t-shirt with a "Casper the ghost-looking" figure looks like he might be Bucky Rea. Did you see him there? (on edit: *sigh* probably wrong about Bucky, too)

Oh, and Hi P. Dittie. Welcome home. Hope you and Suz had a great trip! (on edit: LOL, the message to PD and Suz is the same!!)

12. No, it's not Vaughn, but there is a definite resemblance

Karen Bazemore is to the left of me (or to my right) in the photo. She and Ray Driskill were the only other WHDC'ers.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. How many DUers were there?

I probably would have marched had I not been out of town. You guys are great!

[WestHoustonDem]

17. I only know of 3 - me, Lisa0825 and babylonsister

PDittie and the Mrs. were out of town or they would have been there.

18. I went to the evening vigil

but not the rally during the day. They read the names of people who have been killed. It rained just a little. It wasn't hugely attended, but it was powerful. Saw a couple of fellow Dems from the Morrison campaign there.
