I’m back from the rally, I marched from Union Square to 69th and First and then all the way back down to the Lower East Side. The entire East Side above 42nd Street up to about 72nd Street was occupied by the protesters. This was all great, but I am so pissed all my 120 digital photos came out overexposed to the point of being almost pure white. I’m hoping it came about from some setting in the menu that I might have triggered accidentally. I don’t know, it seems to be working fine right now. Cripes!

Here’s the only photo I have with any image on it at all, and it is almost useless. It’s the "Slumber Party." They were some kids in pajamas carrying pillows who had a well organized routines, songs and slogans. Here they are having a sleep-in on the sidewalk.

The updated Gammablablog forecast for the peace rally now at 51st Street and First Avenue, within possible sight of the UN…. cloudy, cold and windy for the afternoon. Sounds less invigorating than it did. Still, go multi-layered, gloves and scarves are a must… I don’t know what excuse is being given for pushing the rally even farther from the UN, but it doesn’t matter where we gather.

Can’t March? Find the music and dance in place. We have from 51st street up as far as we can fill, legally and in the permit. Bring an FM radio, tune it to WBAI 99.5 for rally coverage. Can’t find any music? …Sing.
