Prop 8 Protest and March, Downtown L.A.

[jigofspite]

So... I'm nearly dead to the world. I got up at 8 to drive to Dave's in downtown L.A., met with him and walked to the L.A. City Hall. Met Court and Pam there and OMG it was so hot. I'd say... 90 something? Lots of people there, lots of speeches. Mayor Villaragosa spoke, and Ricki Lake, and Lucy Lawless, and that guy from Little Britain and lots

wow i didnt realize how far we walked ...crazee ... hope you are feeling better and peeing lots

[jigofspite]

Yeah! It's impressive! Thanks, I am, but still so so so tired. I have peed twice! TMI

[stateless]

it's like pam and i WEREN'T EVEN THERE! kidding.

oh my god so tired.

p.s. how many miles is that?

[jigofspite]

No, it's like Pam wasn't even there. 'Cause you were in the clip at the beginning. Hee.

DITTO.

P.S. Uh, apparently 1.5 miles. IT SEEMED A LOT FURTHER.

[nodogsonbeach]

I think if you include the walk to/from my place, it ends up being like 3 miles. NO WAIT, that'd be if it was just from my place and not back. Then it's like 5.5!

[jigofspite]

No, if you include the walk to and from your place it becomes more like 4.5 miles.

Cowboys are all about equality, little lady.

[jigofspite]

Of course they are! Hee.

[nostalgicecho]

wow... yeah, i hadn't heard *anything* about that in the news today...
that video makes me kind of happy, though.. :)

[jigofspite]

Yeah, 'cause California sucks and is burning. But apparently they got huge crowds in San Diego (almost the size of this one) and San Fran and ALL OVER. Including Dallas and Cincinatti and NY and St. Louis etc. Awesome.

And Columbus! It made the news here. The one here, I mean, not there. Although the fires made the news.

[jigofspite]

I was gonna mention Columbus too, but I thought two Ohio cities was favoring you guys too much and I heard Cincy was bigger and has Margaret Cho. Hee.

[nodogsonbeach]

Me likely video. Lots. I'm glad we ended up going over the overpass because all the other protests I've been to have had a lot of that supportive honking and it's really uplifting. The way the streets were closed for this one didn't really give us that.

[jigofspite]

Me too! It made me happy. Yeah, the blocking the streets was helpful if not as exciting. Heh.

Also, my mom says we're not doing anything on the 22nd. I think they thought I was crazy for wanting to go to Sacramento.

[nodogsonbeach]

OK, fuck it, let's go. :)

[jigofspite]

Hahaha. Woo!
