I have a couple of friends going - they had booked hotel and flights assuming a Clinton victory, and instead are going to be there for the protest march instead of cancelling.
That’s pretty neat. How many times in a lifetime does one get an opportunity to film a Presidential inaugural thingy-a-doohicky.
I read an article that was talking about inaugurals and that about the average a person sees happen in their lifetime is about 15. So this may be a once in a lifetime thing and who knows man maybe your footage will make into the history books or The Library of Congress. How cool would that be? I’d be stoked if that happened to me.
Cartooniverse is right to take the job. Whatever your political views tomorrow is an historic occasion with perhaps momentous consequences for America and the world (good or bad depending which way you swing.)
I work near Penn. Ave., and I walked around to look at the review stands, barricades, etc. being erected tonight. My kids are too little to take downtown into the crowds tomorrow.
FWIW I see no conflict at all in doing your job while disliking the PE. The more the world sees of him the better. He doesn’t hesitate to show his defects, but if the press stops covering him no one will have the chance to see them.
And the parade is the result of a lot of hard work by the various artists and performers. Refusing to honor their work and let it be seen does nothing to lessen the trouble that the PE can cause.
Go. Do good work and be proud of this opportunity. IMHO you are not supporting any wrongdoing.
can I send a mail order gun you can self assemble through overnight delivery ? might be a little rickety I ordered it from the classified pages of guns and ammo and it was cheap …
This will be one of the shortest parades in history.
If you remove the Military units, you are left with, I kid you not, High School Marching Bands.
Including the one I attended, 1964-67.
In a hick town in S. IN.
This is pathetic.
Springsteen was “not available”, so they booked a cover band.
Even the cover band (“B Street Band” - :rolleyes:) backed out, citing their resistance to violating Bruce’s principles by performing his music for this “person”
See that’s some of the stupid bullshit that is going around. There are many inaugural balls planned each time. The one the cover band was scheduled for was run by a bipartisan delegation from New Jersey. They run it every inauguration. This band has played it before. They were booked long before the election. They were not playing because Springsteen wouldn’t. Springsteen does not get booked for parties. They were not playing for Trump. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be able to play their biggest gig but they were pressured to give it up.
