Next time he comes down this way on a Friday, I will be sure to bring him with us again. He enjoyed the rally and meeting all of you (and that GREAT dinner at DiCicco's). :-)

There were twenty Patriots and FReepers at tonight's (or should I say last night's?) "Support Our Troops Rally" in Fresno, California. I would estimate that there were an equal number of peaceniks across the street from us. I am not sure how warm it was during the rally tonight, but it was a very spring-like eighty-two degrees here today!
The response that we got from those driving by tonight was just unbelievable at times! It's such fun FReeping when you have eighty percent or more of the population on our side of the issue. The peaceniks stayed on their side of the street tonight so there weren't any confrontations. However, after the other side had punched their time cards at precisely 6:30 ( I swear they pay these people to stand out there each week!), two police officers approached our group and asked us if we would leave FReeper Island and congretate on the street corner. He said that they had gotten a call from someone who had driven by, concerned about our safety and well being. We wondered if it were one of the peaceniks who was so "concerned" about our welfare. Once we retreated to the corner like we were asked, the number of people driving through the intersection that spotted us was greatly reduced. **sigh** Oh well.
After the FReep, almost all of us went to dinner at Di Ciccios (sp?) and had a wonderful time! Those FReepers who were able to attend tonight were:
To all of the FReepers who were able to attend tonight, it was good to see you and thanks for coming! To those who couldn't make it, we missed you and hope you can join us next Friday night!
