The Biggest Party On Earth: Republican National Convention 2004

All Not Quiet on the Eastern Front



(from the Open Newswire): Scene report of the RNC Protests by local NYC anarchists.

The RNC protests are going to be huge! Hundreds of thousands will flood the streets: Democrats toeing the party line, liberals of all stripes, and communists of all sects. Even "the UNIONS are coming"! The hip hop kids are coming, the college kids are coming, the Greens are coming, Al Sharpton’s coming, the NGOs, Starhwak, the libertarians and tons of assorted wing-nuts will make an appearance. And don’t forget the millions of New Yorkers who hate Bush or are simply pissed-off because they have to be inconvenienced by closed-off streets, delayed subway trains, or police barricades--they’ll be there too. And more power to them, right?

I guess from Philadelphia, you could actually afford to attend all these events in New York, eh? How long a drive (or train trip) is that?

It's about a 2 hour drive. Very convenient. Also DC is about 3. Philadelphia is a good place to be.
