Here is a good recap of the highs and lows and here is a list of some of the posters. I also saw signs saying "I am a homosexual, not a man-beast" (one wonders why the sign-bearer couldn't be both?); "keep fear alive" carried by a woman dressed as a bedbug; "I can't wait to go home and watch this on the internet"; "this sign was a pain to carry on the Metro"; "hijabis for sanity"; "Wisconsin is a myth" (huh?); and a two-sided sign saying "today Glenn Beck is peeing his pants, best day ever" and on the other side, "we are a liberal atheist military family and WE VOTE." (I did not carry a sign. I did wear a pin that said "out of the closet and into the street.")
Plus, I got to see friends who live locally as well as friends visiting from Austin and Vermont! I didn't get a lot of pictures, as it was a crowded madhouse at the scene, but below are a few of my snapshots. All's well that ends well.
PS. Check out this great aerial shot! (Not mine)
