Dcdem, juls and myself have reached meridian hill park, site of counter-inagural protests. Carnacki should be along shortly. I'm blogging from my sidekick. There's 2 inches of snow, drummers, floats, and people everywhere. Its cold, but we will not be deterred. It feels like a carnivale at the moment.
We were greeted with numbers for legal aid and medical aid, which we hope not to use. I am an EMT, should it come to that.
Were heading to the speakers stage. On the way there is a group of people preparing flag draped coffins for the march later. They are being respectful. Its moving to see.
People in masks. Replaying Rush's comment about Abu Ghraib.
More disjointed ramblings as they happen. My fingers are frozen.
