Rally Cats!

Julie, Gumby
I grabbed Gumby because his Pro-Choice sticker caught my eye. Handsome Gumby!

My good friend Emily and I rode the Huffington Post Bus (1 bus of the 200!) down to the rally to restore sanity in DC last Saturday. We saw Arianna who is very blonde right now. It was her birthday. People were singing to her.

It was dark and cold in Queens waiting to get on those buses:

The atmosphere was again, very happy and positive. There were so many people everywhere. I'm so happy their turn-out was huge! While we were on our (late!) bus, we listened to the rally on the radio but once we got there, we had no idea what was going on. We just mingled and checked out the amazing sign-show!

There were people as far as the eye could see.

Here's my sweatshirt iron-on design. It said "RALLY CATS" down our arms.

You can check out all of my not that fantastic, but decent for atmosphere photos from this event on Flickr.

Obama Fabric Crafts

Huge bow attached to backpack of life:

It's the backpack of life, because I'll be living out of it for about 2 days.

And I'm going to see if my partner in crime wants to wear one of these too. If she doesn't want to wear hers, I'll give it away or sell it when we get there. I've sold crazy ribbons right off my head before.

I hope she'll wear it and we can be "Team Rally Cats" and maybe even paint our faces! Eeek! I'm so excited!
I think the guy at the fabric store gave me the hook-up and I can't WAIT to show him what I made! He has an Obama tattoo from his wonderful experience at Obama's Inauguration.

*Do you ever wonder where my husband is? Some of you know he's a medical resident and you might suspect that I'm always home alone because he must work all the time, and that couldn't be further from the truth. He almost always beats me home, and he's on the couch playing PS3 or watching Southpark and telling me I'm dumb for making Obama bows, but secretly he's totally impressed.
