Riots in Denver

Jul 01, 2008 10:27

I unknowingly scheduled my trip to Denver to visit my dad during the same week as the Democratic National Convention... which is in Denver this year. In one way, it's cool that I'll be there. On the other hand, I have an innate distrust of large mobs of people, so I probably won't go anywhere near downtown during the convention. My dad even warned ( Read more... )

Recreate '68 will also be making a presence.

Since I have more fun hanging out with people I disagree with I am trying to get the time off (4 of 6 days confirmed) and the money together to go to the Republican National Convention. I don't know if I will have enough money for bail though I hope I don't need it.

Not to say I always disagree with R's but this year I disagree with them more than the D's and a friend happens to have family up there so I get to sleep without paying for a room.

There are also a lot of freedom-loving anarchists going. Just to be clear.

As it's unlikely that the Limbots will actually LEARN anything, perhaps they can at least be segregated away from the real world for the duration of the convention, busy chasing news cameras...

Of course, I have fantasies about them all being culled from the population during the riots they created, but I'm going to act as though I'm really too enlightened for such base thoughts. :)

Oh, and I've just friended you, some for reasons which should be apparent, some more obscure... no expectation of mutuality, but you're welcome to come over to my playground if you like. :)
