Who's With Me?

The time draws near, fellow patriots. I know some of you are going into the proverbial lion's den in a few short days with me. I know many of you will be attending local events. Still others will be following the various events by radio, Internet or television. Most of you I have never met except for out here in cyberspace, but I do feel that I have seen into many of your lives through the words you cast into the ethers; your thoughts put into words by your fingers angrily or sometimes humorously flying over the keyboard. So whether you are on the job, stuck in traffic, or sitting at home on the couch next week I will be thinking about all of you when I am in D.C.

Back to my original thought and the reason of the title of the post: Who is going? I am not suggeating you post room numbers or anything, that would obviously be ill advised. But I would be honored to meet any of you who are going. So I invite you to share some of your plans so that we might be able to coordinate a meetup For any of my blogging buddies who are not able to attend in D.C. Let the group know what your plans are for 9/12 if you don't mind sharing.

So... Who is with me?

Ooo oo oooo! Must. Take. Pics.

I won't be able to be there, but remember your camera. And your cellphone. In fact, do a mobile blogging test post before you leave. You can synch your cell phone camera with your blogger account if you haven't already. I sometimes mobile blog, and it will be TOO COOL to see your posts in real time from the event. Have FUN and good luck meeting our fellow bloggers. That will make me the most jealous of ALL.

KOOK and I both bought I-Phones for this event and are getting there on Wednesday so we can do "trial runs" on Wed, Thurs and Fri before the big rally on saturday. We also went out of our way to get the newer ones that have camcorders built in. I use my I-Phone to blog every afternoon when it storms here and I unplug the computer (we've lost 9 appliances and 2 lawn workers to lightning in this house since 1988, our county had 13,000 strikes in yesterdays storms according to "ramsdis" which is a lightning detection system) and every morning when I don't feel like getting out of bed.

I had planned to be there with you in actuality but a bit of a financial snag has me staying closer to home. I'll have to attend local events instead. Trust me, though: I will be there with you in spirit.

That's okay. We understand times are bad. I had to make sacrifices to do this but it is very important. I also had many friends that helped contribute to help pay my way as they couldn't go themselves but could put up 10 or 20$ so that they could be represented. You do alot of good on these blogs so don't feel bad at all about not going to the big one just as long as you go to your local one and support all of us who are going and are representing you.

Sadly, I'll be unable to attend. Wish I could, but if the economy wasn't so buggered and things were a bit better, I'd love to. I grew up in the DC burbs, at least till I was 14 and starting high school, and I'd love to show my wife the area sometime. I'm going to try and get up with something locally though. Be safe!

We understand that and that is why, while there, we will be representing this blog and will be (for the fist time) updating the blog while we are in the action. We will be uploading photos and posting as the event occurs from Iphones so you can see it and hear parts of it too. This is our first shot at this so if We have to wait till evening to get things posted, don't be surprised. It will be hard to type on an Iphone in the middle of half a million people. In fact, this will be the first time KOOK and I have ever met besides on this blog so just getting used to each other in person will be new. I think that may be the easiest part of the whole trip though as KOOK and I seem to work well as a team which has never been my thing. You don't have to go to DC to support the event though. There are rallies in every congressional district in the country supporting the protesters in DC. Go to your local rally and support us supporting you.
If you like lightning, you should come to my neck of the woods. We get it here every day from May to November.

Great Guys and Gals! Keep the comments coming... __Opie- I do not know how to synch the camera to the blog. I usually just email the post in. I have done this a couple of times from the iPhone and did it a lot with the Q. Perhaps you could tell us how to do that? I really wish I could meet you too.__Dr. Dave- Dang man, wish you could be there, It would have been great to meet you.__Steve - Sorry to hear yu will not be there, but glad you can find something close to home...keep the home fires burning as they say.Great Guys and Gals!

Do you realize how much lodging in DC for 912 is now???? That is a big part of why many people deciding to go now are out of luck. I wish all of you were going. For those that are, I can't wait to meet you.

The Iphone doesn't run 2 aps at the same time so to my knowledge the photos would have to be E-mailed in. You would have to open "camera" and "safari" at the same time to post photos unless thee is some shortcut that I am not aware of.

I might just call Applecare tomorrow and ask them how to do that.

You guys rock! I can't wait to read and see all the great stuff you gather from there. I'll be in chicago on Michigan Ave. It's going to be bigger than that cow Oprah, who has shut down the street for 3 days w/ her f-ing show. People will be there tomorrow passing out fliers too. We loather her a whole lot too, she is very responsible for getting oscummo elected in the lst place.
