Live from Camp Casey II tent.
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 06:27 PM by brainshrub
Holy shit y'all. There are approx 2000 people here. Weather service says it's 99 degrees and it feels like 108.

I haven't seen any Dues today. I've been helping keep the internet connection alive for the tent. I nearly got heat stroke earlier when I was parking cars.

I have so much to tell you, but I don't have time.

If you are at Camp Casey, PM me so I can give you a cell phone number.

###

Freeper pickup-truck just passed by with a sign saying "Go Home!" I yelled back: "I am home!"

Freeper screams at me from the back of the truck: "You're from Crawford?"

"I'm from America."

The look on his face was priceless.

3. That was a great comback!
Bless those people that traveled to Crawford to be with Cindy in the 100 degree heat and humidity.

15. That's true of the Peace House & Camp Casey One.
Most of us are at CC2 to avoid the belligerence of the RW.

But assume for a moment that the corporate media was 100% correct for a moment. We have been here for weeks, the chicken hawks will only be here for a day.

We have over 8000 signatures in the Crawford Peace House guest register, and that doesn't include all the people who didn't know that there was a register.

I am guesstimating about 2000 Freepers. But I honestly don't know.

Even if a million pro-war people showed up, it still begs the basic question: What was Bush's noble cause?

16. She is taking a nap right now.
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 06:48 PM by brainshrub
I know this because her computer isn't working, and we can't get into her room to fix it because she's sleeping.

Oops, she's awake now, and her computer works fine. I love being one of the tents network geeks.

:D

24. Would LOVE a photo of the map at the CHP
with all the push pins in it showing where
each visitor traveled from. Last weekend
there were no visitor from Nebraska or
the Dakota's.

Thanks for all you are doing!

21. Thank You
I'm feeding heavily on every tidbit that comes out of camp. Most of us are. Amazing how the media has still not noticed the larger number for Cindy compared to the War Lovers.
