Operation Ceasefire activities are tomorrow, beginning at 11:30 a.m., on the Ellipse. The concert following the rally and march is scheduled to run from early afternoon until maybe 2 a.m. -- loads of acts, including the Coup, Steve Earle, and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists. Old timers might enjoy Jello Biafra as MC, and really old timers might enjoy Joan Baez.
As Mario Savio would say, "We've got a war to stop!"

I'll be there.
heh, heh, heh...
I don't have cable, so I'll have to catch it in person. The point, Sean, is not that the concert will actually stop the war but that it provides a point of solidarity and brings people together for a major event. The march is in many ways more important, but my bet is that the concert will get a few more people down there for the day.
Marc Maron will be at the Green Festival (convention center) at noon. He's effing brilliant, one of the hosts of Air America's Morning Sedition, that show I mentioned way back when. You'd really like his humor, I think.
Just thought I'd pass that along.
Did you hear the Prez declared Wednesday "Gold Star Mothers' Day" to honor those who have lost a child in Iraq? Ain't he a great guy? Cindy Sheehan said it would be nice if he honored them by not making any more women into Gold Star Mothers...
Did you go? How was it?
I went. I tried to post last night, but blogger wouldn't upload my photos. The short version is this: we were there from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. -- the 5 year old got bored after a bit.
