Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.
Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!
Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.
They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.
The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.
Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.
To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!
That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.
Thanks, we are stir crazy here. Can you give us radio stations that may be covering you there...so we can stream?
I'm jealous.
Live thread treatment?
Great big BUMP for freedom! Thanks for the post.
I KNEW there was some reason Sharpton was headed to Crawford...:)
He knows that he won't have to share a mike with Jessee,
who is shmoozing it up with Chavez, and there's BBQ!
D'ya think the hippy's have any earthly idea what about to happen?
Our boys and girls ought to wake the hippy's up every morning with the LOUDEST reveille recording they can find.
Yep. But there has been no word yet from Waco that they have arrived. Remember, cell phone connections are hard to get. They could be in route to Crawford and not been able to get a line through to basil yet.
I thought it was for the Neo Nazis.
Doug, you are correct in your thoughts but I don't think that those that sacrificed their lives to have this flag flown will mind this time......
At 04:00 today while cooking a pot of chili I thought, I sure hope they got enough food moved into Crawford for this and then remembered that this State of Texas and Crawford is a country town the good folks there will handle it from their own kitchens if needed.
Anything on the news yet? Nothing local or on FNC here.
I know how you feel!
They should be arriving a little after 1 p.m.
I'm in the Austin area. Local stations here would be 590 KLBJ or 1370 ????. I haven't heard anything on them yet. Perhaps someone reading can provide more info.
As much as I hate to say this, I'm betting even money there's going to be violence, that it'll be started by Baghdad Cindy's gang and the MSM will blame it on the pro Bush people..any takers??
Tell him to go stand next to a metal light poll.
My wife had to get a connection from a bad area yesterday from a job she was working on and did this and was able to make the call.
BTTT!
You're almost there gang!
Absolutely...remember Larry Elder having to admit defeat to the criticism of "Super Glo" Allred?
