Tea Party On

I made it over, briefly, to Community America Ballpark for the first hour of the Tea Party events. I saw a few friends, got a handful of fliers, and heard a few speakers but I was more interested by what I didn't see.

I did NOT see:
  • Counter-protesters
  • Ugly, racist, gun-toting rednecks
  • A monochrome crowd (but it was probably 90% white, middle-class when I was there)
  • A big crowd (but people were still streaming in when I left at 4:15)

The main show started after I left, but here's a few pics of the first hour:
