Rally to restore sanity

Too tired to write much now ... but here is my edited video



And my pics:



I will add some youtube videos from other sources here and maybe some links to good news articles ...

Jon Stewart opens the rally

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) and Ozzy Osborne's musical duel

While Colbert and Stewart were arguing that they want to not board either the Peace Train nor the Crazy train, they finally settled that they would both agree on the Love Train (song by the O-Jays)

I like this fish eye wide lense video ... gives a nice impression of how crowded it was. And this one was mainly shot close to where we were (we also could see the sign 'my feet hurt' close by)

Some mixed highlights from CBS.

Actually, the whole thing is on C-SPAN.org ... it is pretty low res and only 4:3 (even the jumbotrons on site were 16:9), but around the 2 hour mark there is a fun ditty .. there is a nice audience recording (poor viewing angle) on youtube.

More basic info on wikipedia

This HuffPo article has the transcript of the final speech Jon Stewart gave, which was a bit more on the serious note.

And here a collection of 100 signs at the rally ... most of the signs were quite funny (see my pics above)
