this is what texas looks like
Today I joined concerned citizens around the world and took whatever action I can to stop the impending war with Iraq. Some friends and I joined a demonstration at the Texas Capitol to take a principled stand against the war. Below are some pictures from the protest.
Some activists made a maypole in the shape of a missile and danced around the phallic, pagan plaything.
I'm not sure if I was more surprised to see the president on the South lawn of the Capitol or to see flames erupting from his crotch.
My classmate Jean shot video of the action as well, but I haven't had a chance to look through the footage. If there's interesting stuff, I'll compress it, and post it here.
I took this picture from the steps of the Capitol, to try and give you lovely readers of how many people were there. I'm not sure if I have a sense of how many people were there. This Austin American-Statesman story suggests there were between 8,000 and 10,000 participants today.
After the rally, we marched down Congress Ave, to the other side of Town Lake. Congress is a major thoroughfare through downtown Austin, and we held up quite a bit of traffic. As we neared the Congress bridge, my cohorts and I looked back, and realizing there were marchers stretched back to the Capitol.
