A brave band of enthusiastic freepers were in Inglewood to freep ex-President Clinton and his equally sleazy sidekick, soon to be ex-Governor Gray Davis!
A crowd of about 30-40 people were hoisting signs and banners, making a lot of noise in the process! And, as always, we got tremendous support from the traffic, with tons of honks and expressions of sympathy for the cause.
Unfortunately, thanks to tight security, we were unable to get anywhere near the actual event. It looks like they got a little smarter with this event - the venue had massive fences around it, and the event was about in the middle. The crowd of 1,000 (surely not that big for the likes of Clinton) was swallowed up by the enormous property, so it's likely that we couldn't have gotten much attention even if we had been allowed free movement.
Loud chanting of our favourite slogans - Hey Hey, Ho, Ho, Gray Davis Gotta Go!, DUMP DAVIS NOW, and many others made sure there was no doubt abbout the intensity of our support!
The star of the show was surely Monica Lewinsky, who was kind enough to visit and show here continued devotion to Bill. She was slimmer than the real Monica, but (and I hope I'm not offending her) had that perfect full-lipped charm, very much in the spirit of the legend.
As Hangfire would say, most of the "usual suspects" showed up, together with some new friends. We had RonDog, Outraged, Paola, Paola's Mom and many others. Unfortunately I have to finish this by 7:30 and it's already 7:25, so I can't dredge up any more names. I'm sure RonDog will soon arrive with the roll call.
This was a particularly fun freep for me, because I got to show off a brand new gadget, a Frezzi Dimmable Video Light, obtained at frightening cost from my pals at Samy's Camera in Hollywood. If it hadn't been for that light, I don't think anyone would have been able to get any pictures at all! The Outraged photos you see below were illuminated with my light, because it was so dark that it was impossible to see otherwise!
Adding to my amusement was USC journalism student Heather, who had a S-VHS camcorder on a tripod, but no light! She was sadly embarassed at her lack of gadgetry compared to the Freeper team, and asked me to illuminate her photographs and interviews. I, of course, amiably complied, so I have the same interviews she does on tape. I have to say that if Heather is really paying $36,000 a year for her instruction, the school oughta do better than S-VHS! Get with the 21st Century, guys!
I'm doing this during a few spare seconds I have at work, so please forgive (and feel free to correct) any errors.

Ping away to your friends!

Another job well done!
Pics, pics, pics!I am ALSO impatient, but I understand the dynamics of having daviddennis as our own personal FReeper videographer. HIS equipment is as good as - or superior to - almost ANYTHING that we have seen from the "major media," and THEY will not cover our activities. :(
Post the pics!
Over the last two months that we have been on MAXIMUM EFFORT to "Dump Davis," we have been FReeping faster than we can report back here - conducting (in the space of a day or two) two or three times the level of intensity that USED TO BE considered a MAJOR FReep.And, we have been MASSIVELY successful.
Rather than post STILL PICTURES of every FReep, however, we have been concentrating on the MUCH MORE powerful VIDEO FReep reports, but this comes at a price...
David records over an HOUR of raw footage for EACH FReep, and then must process it, edit it and post it online - all of which are VERY time-consuming procedures - but certainly WORTH the wait!We MIGHT get a FEW still images from the "Where's Bubba?" FReep posted here soon - the ones that Outraged took with HIS digital camera - but it was DARK for much of the FReep, and they may not come out as well as the ones that David captured with his new MONSTER video light.
Until the, check out the images from our Pasadena Firefighter BBQ FReep - which featured some of SAME signs and some of the SAME FReepers - posted on my post-FReep NEWS thread:

That is the story of my life. Frustratin' ain't it? Anyhoo, YAHOO for the freepers who freeped the creeps. For victory & freedom!!!
Sorry I didn't make that more clear in the thread; I thought I had, but it looks like everyone missed it :-(.
As always, many thanks to Outraged for taking the photos for us.
Fortunately, he had the help of my Monster Video Light and so the pictures came out pretty well - although my video camera may be able to do better due to its higher level of light sensitivity.
Here they are:
Enjoy!
