Just got back from Occupy a few minutes ago. I'll be back there at 10 or 11 until rehearsal (right down the street) at 2PM, then back there again in the evening.
It's cold, but it's worth it. Occupy Ashland is full of great folks, and I was thrilled to note that cars passing would drive by and honk, giving us thumbs up or raising their fist and cheering. These were all sorts of people - business types, rednecks, teenagers, college students, law enforcement - great vibes, and I really feel like this movement is doing some good...if it fails nationally, it will have succeeded on the local level, because wonderful things are happening. That's not insignificant by any stretch of the imagination.
