USSF kicks off with a 2 p.m. march from the Capitol to the Atlanta Civic Center, where most of the activities will take place (films, workshops, etc.). The event’s web site uses Drupal, which is awesome.
There’s also a competing event for Christians meant to fill the void left by MegaFest that started early this morning. It’s being put on by Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International at the Georgia World Congress Center, and expected to draw 30,000 people, according to the AJC.
If I weren’t, like, working I’d check them both out. Ought to be an interesting cross-section of cultures downtown over the next couple of days. Hope they can play nice. Anybody going to either of these events?
ok, drove by the capitol at lunch. There were mostly signs of Che Guevera and Hugo Chavez being held by white people.
The cops have drug-sniffing dogs EVERYWHERE, that’s a little weird.
Most of the people were a little scary - beards, tie-die clothing, camo, etc. cept for one very very cute young redhead…he can stay
I’ve always wanted to go to MegaFest but I don’t imagine there are many events geared towards me.
Maybe a seminar on “who is this Jesus guy and why should Pagans even care.” How about, “One god is SOOO much simpler.”
