2. Great work!

Let me know what the morse code message is so that I can beat it on my big bass drum before/during our procession.

I'm not a real artist like my mother. I just use outdated graphics programs (like Photoshop 3.0) to vandalize AP photos of the monsters destroying our planet. My latest, submitted for your approval:

4. I wish I could be there for that

Chicago doesn't seem to be doing much. I'm planning on wearing my shirt that says "Voter fraud is not a mandate, George Bush is not my president." and participating in Not One Damn Dime Day but I want to see a march or something.
