I'm lucky to know someone like you.

Good luck.

Union leaders said they arranged the event with New Haven Police to avoid causing problems for officers. Union supporters who plan to be arrested were asked by union leaders to fill out cards with their names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers to help expedite the process today.

Instead of transporting participants to jail or police stations, officers will issue citations on the spot to people in the street. Union leaders said they expect participants to be charged with creating a public disturbance, an infraction, or disorderly conduct, a class C misdemeanor.

Somehow I never pictured that as what getting arrested is like...

Yeah - there's some humor in the carefully-coordinated aspect of it. But, as I see it, what it loses in drama this way, it gains in respect for the community by minimizing the burden created. It is weird though.

Thanks for your kind words - they mean a lot to me.

Josh E., I love you and I miss you and in some ways (many, in fact) I want to be like you.

so what was it like, really?

Josh Eidelson goes off to Yale and finds civil disobedience, who would have thought?

Kidding, Josh I'm really glad to know that you're doing this. I hope it's meaningful for you.

(When you're president, I'll get to say 'I knew him when'. And I hope you don't get assassinated.)

Glad to know that limousine liberals like yourself are sympathetic (just kidding as well)...I tried a couple times to call you, but I can't figure out how to get international calls, and so I tried emailing both your hotmail addresses, and they bounced back - so call me sometime. Peace.
