Preparing for the protest
Jan. 17th, 2003 10:22 pmSo tomorrow is the big anti-war protest, here in San Francisco, and in other cities around the world. And the environmentalists are meeting beforehand at 11, so I think I'll go hang out with them.
All prepared? I've got my safari pants (extra pockets), just a little bit of cash (enough for a cab home if I need to).
I've replaced the downstairs closet lock with a combination lock, and will put the apartment key in there, so if I don't have to worry about losing it, and can still get back in.
I've got a tiny digital camera, and an extra CF card for it, so that if the cops demand the "film" I can palm the used one and give them the blank.
No ID. I learned that one in Stockton: if you don't have ID, you can give the cops any name you want. (Just in case it comes up :-) I think tomorrow I'll be Douglas Kitchen, from Stockton (zip code 95211, phone 209-418-9393, SSN 566693418)
Paper & pencil in case I want to record any info.
Debating taking the phone. On the one hand, it could get damaged if anything happens. On the other hand, I'd have it if I need to call anybody. On the other hand, who would I call?
Running shoes. Comfortable clothes. Jacket.
Tried the find the California law that deals with photographing police, but couldn't. (I know there is one, I've looked it up before. It grew out of the African-American groups following the cops around with movie cameras in the 60s and 70s). Oh, well. I'm ready.
Tomorrow night: the story, and the pictures.
