Antiwar Fervor Fills the Streets:

"The demonstration drew grandmothers in wheelchairs and babies in strollers, military veterans in fatigues and protest veterans in tie-dye. It was the first time in a decade that protest groups had a permit to march in front of the executive mansion, and, even though President Bush was not there, the setting seemed to electrify the crowd."

I was there. I went with my friend Jan ("yawn"). I got up at 4:00 AM to catch the 5:15 bus and we got back to town around 10:45 PM, so it made for a long day. Was glad to see Chuck, who I worked with at NicaNet and my friend Meredith, who, until recently lived with my cousin Lisa. Hope to get up there again soon. Brought my digital camera and took pictures, but I can't find the cable, so it might be a while before I'm able to post any of them.

In other news, I just applied for an opening at the Daily Tar Heel, left from when they fired Jillian Bandes (see previous posts). I typed up one of my columns from when I wrote for the Collegian at Willamette and submitted it. I'm not holding my breath. I'll add it to the writing section when I get the chance.
