Any predictions on how big the protests are going to be this Saturday?
Especially if you have any real data (say, if you are an organizer, or have a link to any published reports) that might give a real indication. Or even if its just a "feeling". This DU thread gives me the feeling that things could get pretty big. That would be great. Personally, I made a commitment that has me on the road for 4 hours and then getting on a plane Saturday afternoon. But I'll be looking for you out the window!

Peace.

2. I live across the street from the start of the Seattle march
There will be a memorial service at the First Baptist Church here Saturday morning. Anyway, our building management put signs up in the elevator telling us that there will be so many thousands of people around that day that we shouldn't count on being able to drive in or out of our neighborhood due to the traffic! :wow: I hope the turnout is HUGE.

6. I heard someone from A.N.S.W.E.R. on KPFA a couple days ago
Saying they expected a very good turnout for the San Francisco march and rally. I don't know what that was based on, but I hope its true.
