From Merriam-Webster Online:
re·con·nais·sance - "a preliminary survey to gain information;
especially : an exploratory military survey of enemy territory."
I spent a BIG chunk of Friday night on a recon mission -- right in the belly of the beast, and HERE are my recommendations: 1 - RALLY START POINT: Hollywood & HIGHLAND
(NOT Hollywood and WHITLEY)
We will have to promote the "Thank you, Hollywood" billboard in some other way.
It is just TOO FAR away from the "main event" at Hollywood & Highland. 2 - PARKING: 1718 N. Cherokee Ave.
(just north of Hollywood Blvd, near Musso & Frank's Grill)
Parking inside a SAFE, guarded building -- only $6 for all day.
Only two short blocks to the rally .
3 - COLOR: Wear something BRIGHT RED
Or PURPLE, if you prefer
We want to STAND OUT in the crowd.
We plan to pass out the giant purple fingers some time after noon - first come, first serve.
4 - post-Rally FOOD and FELLOWSHIP: International House of Pancakes
Hollywood I.H.O.P. - 7006 W. Sunset Blvd., at Orange Dr.
One block SOUTH on Highland, one block WEST on Sunset.
We can WALK there after the rally, and their prices are reasonable.
They are currently holding space in their back room for a party of TWENTY.
We will probably DOUBLE that number, and they will still have room for us.
