Okay, I'm back from the meeting 45+ parents/sakters showed up. We must become an organinzation first, but basically they said "IN time". Hoorah.

Well, I went to a "No Coal Plant" protest/informational meeting last night. Learned some stuff, knew some stuff already, but it was quite a good meeting. They had lots of people from the Clean Air Coalition, allergists, hippies, all sorts of people. Very well organized. Got a free sign and some bumper stickers too.

I went to the massive protest in DC a few months back. It was incredible; there were like 300,000 people there, and there were maybe another 100,000 who were unable to get to the city because the metro "had a schedualed maintainence." I even saw a few street punx scattered throughout the crowd, and a hardcore/hippie girl. That was weird. But after the protest, there was the Operation Ceasefire concert. I showed up about half an hour early, and there was no one there, so I was in the front row when JELLO BIAFRA started hosting the whole thing. It was great; me and my friend were 20 feet away from him. Then some psuedo-punk bands came on, and a few acoustic people, and there were some speakers in between, like Cindy Sheehan. There was also this Hip-Hop band there called the Coup. I usually shy away from anything even related to the genre, but they were actually really good. Really. I was just starting to get really happy because Ian MacKaye's new band was going to be on next, but then my friend's mom got bitchy and made us leave. That sucked alot of anus. So anyway, thats about the only real protest I've ever been to, and actually the only time I've ever seen any big name Punk people.

Hopefully you weren't one of those kids 'moshing' for that.

Ian is lame

wheres th love, man?

Well no, I wasn't one of the three or four kids who were sort of dancing, but I could see them from where I was. They just kindof had a circle going for a little while, but no one else was into it so they stopped pretty quickly. And I actually have no idea what the new Ian is like, but I figure it would still be good to see him, just to say that I have.

Sounds pretty awesome, shame about your friend's mum though. Word to the wise, always go after punk/hippie chicks you see in protests/demonstrations/meetings/concerts. They are really nice (I know I'm generalising, but still) and there are very few posers among them, mostly because they look too silly to be considered cool enough to pose as. And some of them are very sexually open-minded (ie. they will shag you even if you is a minger, or if they have a boyfriend:thumb:).
