From what I've seen on Fox News the Tea Parties have really taken form... Wish I could have gone but I needed to get my extension filed

I had been planning to take pictures at the party in Longview. My cardiologist decided to schedule my stress test for today. It was a tough decision. I chose the stress test. Hope I made the right decision. :)

Well I'm adding more from the noon event and I stayed and shot the 4pm event at the Capital that had a lot more people and will try to get a few of those shots up tonight still.

Geez. Must be nice, I shot 8 gig worth of both events here in Austin. I haven't had the chance to get to touch any of them yet. I'm hoping to get to them later this afternoon.
By the way, thanks for getting pics of me shooting. I'm blond haired in the black tshirt on stage shooting with my gripped 40D.
They gave me front row.....

But you were stuck while I WAS all over the place blasting away.

I never saw them dump any t-bags in the river unless they did it after 6:30.

You are right in a sense. I wasn't stuck there, but did get soem great shots from a different point of view is all.
As for the tea bags, They did throw boxes of tea over the side. And yes, it was after 6:30. Unfortunately, there was little organization at the shores. And most of the crowd left before it actually took place.

I was going to stay a bit later but where I was staying was about an hour out of town and I wanted to get some sunset shots at a particularly nice field of BlueBonnets that were along the route back. (I was able to get them too and there was a nice colorful sunset-sooner or later I will get to work on those pics).

So chuck are you a Hippo? HA HA HA!
