Tote bags, another last minute show and squeezing in a protest
I have been digging thru the stash looking for fabric for more tote bags. I got a few more tote bags cut out and have a couple more pieces to cut.
Another show was added to the schedule. A band had cancelled, and Michael filled in. Thank goodness the rain stayed away and it was a lovely evening.
The load in and out was easy. Since the show was over at 7, we didn't have to put the lights up. That made for a quicker tear down.
We left for the show late enough that I had time to go downtown and protest for an hour. There were four times the people there from the amount that were there in April. My guess would be 3,000 to 4,000. Never saw a police officer, no National Guard, no Marines. Totally peaceful, meaning no violence, but not peaceful because we were noisy! If anyone goes to protest, make sure you wear hearing protection. It gets loud with the horns honking, bullhorns, cowbells, and drums!

i dunno how many showed up for ours, but it was a LOT - it was Broomfield's first protest and we lined up for blocks and blocks ... and there were at least four times as many for Westminster's second one ... we couldn't fit in our usual Superior protest, so i dunno how that one went ... if the homemade signs are any indication, people are fed the eff up - gotta keep up the momentum cuz 2026 is a long way off ... and i was so, so happy that it rained on Thing One's birthday parade - loser - the crowd size must have hurt his little bitty feelings...
Good for you squeezing in some protest time. I looked at the advice on what to and not to take to a protest but it didn’t include ear plugs so thanks for mentioning it.
I'm glad Michael got in a rain free show!
