The
\n Dowbrigade and Norma Yvonne are thinking of driving down to NYC on Sunday
\n to attend\/cover the massive protest planned for the day before the opening
\n of the RNC. Scheduled for the 41st anniversary of the legendary "March
\n on Washington" which galvanized public opinion against the war in Viernam,
\n Sunday’s protest was origially scheduled to mount up in Central Park
\n and march down Fifth Avenue to the Madison Sq. Garden, site of the convention.<\/p>\n

But the City has refused permits to the protesters,
\n and offered to relocate them – off of the island of Manhattan. No one
\n seems to know exactly what will happen Sunday, although the latest news
\n reports say the protesters do have a permit for the march part of their
\n protest, which is now scheduled to wind up at historic Union Square. What
\n will happen when up to a quarter of a million people end up in Union
\n Square, just in time for Sunday brunch, surrounded by New York’s Finest, remains to be seen. Whatever
\n happens will certainly be worth Blogging, and we want to be there.<\/p>\n

Do any of our readers know if there are any support
\n facilities for bloggers visiting the city to blog the convention from
\n the outside? Any
\n blogger meet-ups, or gathering places, or informal command centers? Are
\n there any other bloggers or blog-readers who would be interested in trying
\n to hook up? Let us know, we are looking forward to an interesting mix
\n of a day in the park and a day at the zoo.<\/p>\n
