Sorry I missed you guys. I got there a little after 1:00 and positioned myself in a doorway and watched the animals march by, hoping to see some FReepers somewhere. The number of the losers really surprised me. I wasn't expecting that many. Fortunately, I did manage to accidentally run into Johnny Gage (very nice to meet you Johnny...) and we walked together up the street following the trailing end of the marchers, and hoping to run into more FReepers. But no such luck. We headed back to Lake Street and then parted ways... But we did have a nice FReeper conversation, and showed the flag proudly.....

DT, see above post 24 for my (pathetic) report on the FReep. I was rushed getting there and forgot my camera too... :^( ....kind of a bust unfortunately....

If you guys get this message, make sure and watch WCCO at 6pm. I and the guy I ran into both got interviewed and they took very detailed footage of my sign.

Sorry I didn't see anyone there, but their crowd was especially large and spread out this time. (So many idiots, so little time.)

I started getting cold so I ducked into the Old Chicago for a brew and a warmup after a while before going home.

Sorry you missed us we headed out about 12:50.
SShultz460 and his friend Corry(sp) and your humble servant ended up on the corner of Hennepin and Lagoon. SShultz460 brought some signs and two small American flags, so with our hearts full of joy off we when. To say we were outnumbered would be the understatement of the year (but quality counts for something). We were joined by two other men who enthusiastically joined in. I'm sure you'll be "suprised" to hear that our brothers and sisters in the peace community(incert foghorn here) are not very peaceful or tolerant when it comes to dissent. We were assualted verbaly on more than one occasion and twice physically twice. A woman from something called "United Action For Peace and Justice" thought we were from Veterans for Peace(where she got that idea I have idea and even less interest in finding out) wanted to give us the phone # of her org. and a flyer, she discovered her mistake (she discovered her mistake after I told her her org. was laughable) she tried to take the flyer back. She took off after I called for the police. Corry(sp)(I believe)was threaten with a stick.

On a positive note we received many thumbs up, waves and horn honkings which were greatly apprecated.

SShultz460 is talking about doing this on a regular basis(support out troops freep) so if anyone is interested contact him.

All in all a good time was had by all.

I was also there, but did not recognize any of my fellow FReepers. There were two supporters of out troops that were interviewed by the some one with a TV camera. Not sure who they were. Wish I would have asked where everyone was planning to meet.

Sorry I missed the rest of you!

As RWRF said, we ran into each other and hiked up behind the unwashed masses, and had some good words with our local LEO's.

While we were standing there talking one young lady asked to take our picture.

I had a 2X3" flag on a pole with a "freerepublic.com" sign taped underneath.

I did have a SUV with several people in it honk and wave while I was walking back to my SUV.

It was a fun time, even if we missed the rest of the group.

I would be interested in doing "support freeps" on a regular basis, if I can work it into my schedule. I'm sure we could probably get a decent rotation of folks who'd do this.

FReep ON! Let's roll!

Great FReep for the Troops. Starting to feel better about how I spent my money in Ely last summer. :) FReep on!
