I really wanted to post the Denver No on H8 march pics, but
well, we never actually got to *march*. At least, I didn't.

I arrived with hubby in tow at 11:30 - the time the march was to start. But first there were some speakers.

A full HOUR AND A HALF LATER, there were *still* speakers . . . and singers . . . and more speakers. I couldn't stand that long on the concrete because of my bad back, so had to split. As we were leaving, I noticed the rest of the crowd streaming away. Probably had about 3,000 at the beginning, but by the time we left, maybe 500 remained. I don't know if they ever marched.

We really have to learn how to hold a rally.

1. Just FYI - some were marches, some were protests
Depended on the location. Were you in front of your local City Hall by chance?

2. It was advertised on the web as a march.
And throughout the sermonizing, the crowd was yelling, "March! March! March!" But just more speakers.

Yes, it was in front of the City/County bldg. Great energy when we arrived, but ground into the dust by the time we left. I moved to the back around 1:00 to stand on the grass, and realized no one 30 yds back could hear a thing, and wasn't paying the slightest attention. Kinda sad. There were some good messages, just too damn many.
