Echo 41 – 40 minutes
While Erk was walking in downtown San Francisco, I walked into a protest. Normally I steer clear of such protests or don’t have time to stop. But today I decided to stop and get out my camera and Zoom H4 recorder.
The protest was about the current global financial situation and the bailout of various banks here in America. I wasn’t there for the start of the protest that was held outside the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco that was closed over the weekend.
I missed most of the speeches but I did get to observe the performance of the Raging Grannies whiich included street theatre and singing. I then got to speak with a few of the Grannies as well as a couple of other people in the crowd.

A protest in San Francisco? Imagine that. Funny that Jesus was around again for you, Erk. Too bad he split before you could find out which bank he uses.

Let’s hope that what Jesus saves wasn’t at one of the banks that went under!
Those “Raging Grannies” are entertaining. Clever, and snarky. I bet hanging out with them would be fun.
