1-27 rally from my view and plea for footage/pics
I had an AWESOME time in DC this past weekend, despite having been in a wreck on I-44 on the way home. Fortunately, no one was hurt. We all made it home safely. If any of you have any footage or pics you wouldn't mind sharing, I am going to be making a documentary about the rally this past weekend. I got a bunch of pics and footage myself, but with over 400,000 in attendance, I know I didn't catch everything! You would, of course, receive credit for your contributions. Please just drop a line in my DU box.
Guys, this was absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever been involved in (besides the births of my children, of course). The energy flowing on the Mall was phenomenal. As I was marching, I was overcome with emotion that I was a part of something so historic. For the first time in history (so I've been informed-have not been able to independently verify at this point), a protest march completely encircled the Capitol. Being in the vanguard of the march, by the time we got all the way around and back into the Mall, we could see the tail of the march was still filing out. It was a truly moving experience. It gave me so much hope for the future. All we have to do is stick together.

The people, united, will never be divided!

1. Here's a link to my photos.

I also have a few video clips of an incident we saw in the making -- I've got half of them up on YouTube but still have a few to upload. I'll post them once they're all up.

I'm glad you're okay. I hope there wasn't too much damage to your car.

2. Thanks for your concern Sharon
It was very nice to meet you at the Hawk & Dove! Thanks so much for your help! Actually, it was someone else's rental vehicle. I was just catching a ride from STL to SGF. Thank goodness they had the full-coverage insurance, because it messed the van up pretty bad. The whole left wheel was all messed up, no tire at all, and the bumper ripped off. I think the doors on the driver's side wouldn't open or close well, either. Guardrails tend to do that...but at least no one was injured. It could have very easily been much, much worse. Someone's angels were working overtime...

6. I'm exhausted -- and I don't want to be at work
I want to be home reading FDL!

Great meeting you, too.

7. Agreed - it was amazing
Just got home from DC a couple of hours ago (I'm in the Bay Area) and I appreciate the links to pix of the event. I haven't downloaded mine from the cam yet, but if there's anything worth posting, I will.
