hmpf

here's one more bit of news. We've been demonstrating again, this time in Wiesbaden, the Hessian capital. There were about 8000 people there. I spent most of my three hours at the demo hanging around the group of archaeology students who were carrying this banner:

The guy with the exclamation mark placard - you have to admire it: so simple yet versatile! *g* - has a bit part in one of my older fics. Also, his girlfriend is the only person I ever met in a RL context who knew what fanfic was *before* I explained it to her. She therefore got a slightly bigger part in the fic. *g* As you can see from her arcane knowledge and his placard, they both rock quite a bit.

Dies ist eine bundesweite Demo! Also laßt Euch nicht davon abhalten, daß Ihr nicht in Hessen wohnt oder so! Jeder von Euch, der mitdemonstrieren möchte, kann bei mir übernachten (Isomatte und Schlafsack mitbringen!)

(And no, I don't really have time for this, either. I really, really don't. But I think it's important, so I try to find at least *some* time in my schedule for it.)
