I live close to Hollywood and Highland...Perhaps you know of some LOCALS who had a camera outside the Oscars?

I understand that the "stars" were the main focus of the Academy Awards,What we seek is a photograph of our "Thank You, Hollywood!" banner in front of the huge crowd gathered outside the old Hollywood National Bank building.
not us "barbarians" outside the gate.But we had hoped to see at least a FEW images of our "Thank You, Hollywood!" sign...To date, however, we have found virtually NO images of our pro-Bush/anti-Michael Moore rally except for one AP photo of our "Dude, Wheres MY Oscar?" sign.
...SOMEWHERE in the media coverage.Ideally, the "money shot" that we seek will be something like THIS one, from a PREVIOUS rally at that same corner:
At this year's rally, unfortunately, our people were all on the NORTH side of Hollywood Blvd.,
so none of us got the critical "money shot" (from across the street)
of our LARGE (four foot by eight foot) reproduction of the "Thank You, Hollywood!" billboard.

My girlfriend is a photographer and my friend's cousin is a photographer for AP I will ask them both to check around in their circles for you but I'm skeptical. I'll try though!
