Finally!
A good old-fashioned anti-Bush protest that's well within driving distance of Barnwell. Man, it's been too long...I went to a few anti-war demonstrations around Charleston last year and joined the University of South Carolina's "counter-graduation" in Columbia when Bush spoke at the official ceremony, but, wow. A G-8 Summit? On the Georgia coast, just 45 minutes away from Hilton Head Island??? So all the anti-globalization, anti-war, and just plain ol' anti-Bush demonstrators will be swarming all over Savannah. I can't wait!
Let's just hope that I'll be able to secure some sort of transportation, and can get at least a few days off from Strobel Tire when the time comes. Granted, I've only had three days off since July 7th (and all three of them were due to a sinus infection), but I don't 'officially' get ANY vacation until I've been there a year, which will be...well, July 7th, 2004. But...you know what? Fuck 'em! If they won't let me off for something like this, I'll just quit two months early. This is too good of an opportunity to pass up!
See y'all there, hopefully. Hey, if you or anyone you know is headed that direction, I'll make you a deal. If you can give me a ride, I'll get us a place on Hilton Head Island for the duration of the summit. Okay?
