Mic check... ok could not help, it is contagious.
I just walked in the house from the Day of Action here in San Diego. COFFEE, I NEED COFFEE.

The short and sweet... police presence was nuts... but they did not bring the LDAR... well Sheriffs, the proud owners of that... were not invited to the party, so they did not bring in their party flavors.

(Weird sense of humor, I know)

Give me a little and I need to write story, file and get photos and all that. Oh and I now have realized... CAN'T wait till payday to get not just a second battery. a THIRD battery.

:-)

I keep killing them... for some reason.

3. Until I walked out the door, ALMOST EXPECTING this to get ugly here,
thankfully it did not... there were women, and children, and elderly, and people using walkers.

I was hoping against hope for dead batteries, not dead streamers.

Spoke too soon: http://www.livestream.com/occupynyc

Unfortunately, they are getting raided by RoboCops any minute, they're all together at the center of the park, surrounded by faceless riot cops.

8. LOL, Occupy Dallas (evicted today) Occupiers did a press conf
this afternoon for the local media and the first thing one of the camera people asked them "can you guys NOT do the people's mic, please". Apparently, he felt it would mess up their soundbites. The Occupiers talked amongst themselves, initially were going to vote on it, but then said "um, we WILL be using the People's mic...your viewers will FIGURE IT OUT".

I saw the teeny clip on the news with the main person reading the written statement and behind him were all the other occupiers doing..the People's Mic. It was cool to watch. Stupid local media..they have been misleading everyone for months and then have the nerve to ask the Occupiers to go by media rules????

The above account was in the Dallas paper, couldn't help but get a good laugh out of it. The ONLY laugh I have had today since I turned on my car radio at 6 am this morning and first heard the camp had been raided in the middle of the night!

9. Overhead, from local MSM newsie
"I am amazed you people got this done."

That is the almost quote of the day. The MSM really despises this... and they especially despise the citizen journos. Heck, I filed with actual breaking news to a smal time indie press.

12. I agree, it is contagious.. I almost said it work. :)
I wish I had PTO left so I could take off work and to go an actions at an event and do a MIC check.. I have a loud voice so I know i would be good and I look like a republican so that would get me in.

ahhhhhh I know my opportunity will come some evening.

13. MIC CHECK!!!!
me too! Doing it around the house now. Been calling the dog with "Mic Check" Hubby and I used to use "Hooty hoot" (from Gomer Pyle on Mayberry) if we got seperated in public. Now, it's "MIC CHECK"
