I'm heading to Crawford in a little while.
If any Dallas/Denton area DUers need a ride, please let me know. I posted in the TX forum, but didn't get any takers.

Im taking a camcorder and I'll get as much footage as I can for you guys. I'm also going to have a tent, sunscreen, a first aid kit and various other supplies, if anyone is running low. I still need to buy a cooler and ice along the way.

I'm not taking my laptop because I thought it would be too much for me to have to keep up with it, but I can call my husband and have him post stuff for me if necessary. I don't mind not having air conditioning or television, but it will be very hard for me to live without DU.

I've written before about my father and how the Vietnam war destroyed my family. I know there are already a lot of people out in Crawford, but I still want to go and support Cindy in person.

1. Safe travels. Thank you for going.
I am debating going myself. I live in VA, and in all honesty my issue is child care. But I am working on it.

You Go Girl!
Proud of ya.

Can't wait to see the footage and pix!

If you by chance run into Ray McGovern, try to put him in touch with me, I'd love to do an interview with him.

Been posting some grassroots journalism here and abroad...

7. Remember to pack a cowbell.
Cause every protest needs more cowbell! :)

Kidding aside, bring cash, too. Never know when you'll need bail money. And lots of water.

11. Thanks for reminding me.
About the cash, that is, not the cowbell. ;)

I'm so used to using a debit card all the time.

8. You wouldn't happen to be driving through Seattle would ya?
I guess that would be "taking the scenic route" to the extreme.

Have fun!

13. Maddy!
I'm glad you made it home safe.

I wish I had seen the posts about your car trouble in time. I could have come and picked you up. I have a spare room and my son has a trundle bed.

Next time you're stranded in Texas, call me. :)

14. That's so sweet of you. :hug:
Everything worked out ok. We're safely home.

Please tell Cindy that I tried to visit her. That would mean the world to me.
