October 31, 1998 Washington, DC. I was there ...
20 years ago, about this time, I started lurking ... attended the March for Justice event and registered with FR shortly thereafter.
October 31, 1998 Washington, DC. I was there ...
We generally walked around the whole rally, getting to meet our fellow Freepers.
The breeze was from the north, coming from the direction of the White House.
We had so much fun, getting to speak with all of our heroes, especially Ambassador Keyes. Also, we spoke at length with Matt Drudge.
We did record some of our own video with my BIL’s Hi-8 camera.
We saw ourselves on the C-Span replay sometime later. When Ambassador Keyes was speaking, the camera switched to us. There we were, me holding up California flag.
The “March For Justice” button that we bought is one of our most prized mementos.
I wanted to say it was (close to) Halloween!And, like you, this is probably close to the 20th anniversary of when I started lurking!
Back then, Drudge Report linked to FR, which how I found the site. Before that, I was on a C-Span board - which only had a handful of posters at the time.
