no Iraq war

[jinian]

Saw kids trooping down to the Seattle Center house on my way to work this morning. They were chanting "No war [something something]" and carrying "No Iraq war" signs and homemade pro-peace signs. Talk about heartwarming. They couldn't have been out of junior high yet.

Saw and talked to a tall man with anti-war signs at QA and Mercer. He was really happy someone was talking to him. He's called Mike, and he's one of the people responsible for those car-top signs that some of us have seen around town. After borrowing a pen, he wrote his web address down for me. I think I might go to their Buzz session tonight; apparently, I am an official Queen Anne Neighbor by virtue of working down here.

Shut Down the Town will probably be soon.

It's a beautiful, clear day, and I'm pretty sure that's a battleship moving out of the bay.

I will go poke around the links as soon as I'm done writing this comment, but do either of them have a thingy where you can get one of those signs? I suppose I could make one... ;)

And I need to send you email. Wooyah! Good - uh, afternoon. :)

Actually, the Buzz thing that Mike was recommending to me looks like it'll have signs. Are you busy? You could come down. Or I could go, and fetch you one.

When/where? I might be able to go, and I'd like to if I can. :)

Esta noche, 6:30-8pm, reasonably close to my work. (5th Ave W & W McGraw) You could bring things down to scan in, too.

Esta noche... tonight? Me no habla, um, Espanol.

I had not expected the Spanish to speak you. Yep, tonight.

Hmm... maaaaaaybe. I am feeling headcoldish, and need to make phone calls - I will make phone calls (as soon as the herd of housemates has left the building, they're getting ready to go now, shoo shoo), take a shower, see how I feel, and let you know. It would mean missing Farscape! Although myclaudia is taping it, I think/hope. ;)
