Democratic National Convention
    #8713916 -

Is anybody else going to be there for this?

I have the week off from school and work and will be down there everyday with a camera in tow.  I'm thinking of setting up some type of blog or something to post pics and stories and whatnot.

Would anybody else be interested in this?

I heard word from some knowledgeable friends that Rage Against the Machine was planning on playing a protest show right across the street from the Pepsi Center.  Which really makes sense as just south of it is a huge parking complex.

Would anybody be interested in reading some shit and seeing some pics of it?  I'm really excited for it as it was exactly 100 years ago that the DNC was held in Denver.

And I live about 10 blocks away from where it's all gonna go down.  :smile:

Shit I would go, even though i don't like politics too much, it would still be interesting to watch.  and if RATM made a 'surprise' appearance, that would be the tits.

peace

Yeah, thought about that.  I'm currently debating what type of camera to bring, still or video.  :smile:

I'm 95% sure that all of these massive protest campaigns being set up for the DNC are financed by the Republican party.

Yeah Trip, for being so anti-conspiracy, you have a few :crazy2: ideas yourself.

Not that I'd put it past them but.......

I'm sorry, but I find the idea that the Republican party is using a bunch of ignorant anarchists and social malcontents in an attempt to make the DNC look like a group of jack-booted thugs slightly more plausible than thousands of pounds of thermite being placed in the busiest office building in the world with nobody noticing or that Lizard men from Dimension X have infiltrated our government and are harvesting baby humans for food.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Wait...why would RATM protest the DNC?  Maybe they disagree with it's politics...but aren't they pretty socialist themselves?  I would think at the very least they would consider the Democrats the lesser of two evils.

No.  Haven't you heard?  It doesn't matter who you vote for.  Both parties are like, the same and stuff.  Like, politics are like, for suckers, man.

I'm gonna be there. If I can't get in to the convention itself I'll probably protest for fun.

Heh, Tom Morello from RATM just sang "Take Me Out To The BallGame" at Wrigley Field about 30 second ago and is apparently a huge and lifelong Cubs fan.

I take back everything bad I said about him.
