Lots and lots of people whom I wouldn't even call protesters--really, they're just random people walking around the city in anti-Bush shirts. And some roads blocked off. And there was one guy who was talking about some passage from the

and I wrote them a note before the concert (well, Rivky wrote it, but I helped) asking that [1] Avi1 take off his shoes (because he did it at the first concert of theirs we went to and we thought it was the coolest thing ever2),

It is cool and different. I mean, it wasn't like it was on stage in front of hundreds of people--it was a small concert, actually in someone's basement--but still, it was cool.

There are aspects of American culture that I don't like, yes, but the reason I'm making aliyah is to go to Israel, not to get away from America--that would be stupid, because New York is awesome.

And New York is awesome. Except you'd probably hate it.
