back from the vigiL - check in here |

wow! what a turnout. :bounce:
we even got to meet another DUer for the first time (aLong with his wife and beautifuL chiLd).
it was both soLemn, and incredibLe - everyone was mostLy siLent, but everyone just seemed so happy to see each other.
we made a crappy sign made of: a DU bumper sticker; "we stand with cindy"; and "morans!" in the corner. hopefuLLy it gets into one of the god knows how many pics were taken.

nice to see you! Obviously I have to increase my vigil number estimates! (I'm terrible at that)
:hi:
I was just over in GD to see what was up and to see if I would see you there!

22. About 70 people at the church down the street. |
|
It was a decent turnout (last I heard, only 40 signed up)
Some songs were sung, some people got up to speak. The woman organizing it is going down to Crawford to see Cindy. A petition was circulated where we signed out nemea...again, to be given to Cindy.
I was glad I went..it was very moving.

31. It's pretty amazing, isn't it? |
|
I think what happened tonight was...democracy in action. Something in very short supply the past 5 years. It was inspiring.

26. I was really surprised |
|
by the number of cars that honked/people that waved. They far outnumbered the occasional jackass.

28. I just posted in your other thread! |
|
110 people at ours, in a town of about 22,000. Not bad! Lots of honking and waving and peace signs, only a couple people being jackasses. Met some cool people and was glad I went!!
