WOW!!! What a great opportunity for the kids... a chance to join our elected officials who have been fingerpainting a waterfront design for years now.

Just imagine the show of force if all of them--maybe 100 or more--showed up and spent the whole day walking and biking back and forth on Alaskan Way.

Get away kids, you bother them.

Just wait, only 25 or 30 will
unwantingly show up, and be
made miserable and unaware they
are nothing more than their
parents tool. Not kids. Not
people, just a tool.

Very few of us have kids and we are generally known for performing at adult only shows. how bout getting your hipster asses off capitol hill and actually interacting with another demographic? we need to do what we can to avoid having this issue framed as belonging only to hyper-progressive, childless bike nazis, as some in these threads are trying to do. there are all kinds of people across the city who oppose the viaduct, who can be engaged and activated to help in this cause, but not if we alienate them for having cheesy press releases, or don't support thier efforts because they don't read the stranger or speak with sarcasm dripping off of every phrase. come on people, quit being assholes and fight the enemy, not the people who are on our own team.

The whole point is for EVERYONE to come out, kids included, and remind people how great the waterfront could be without 75,000 tons of concrete dividing us from Elliot Bay.

Come ON people - at some point we've got to get off our behinds and take it to the streets. This is about everybody getting out there. I hope you'll join us!

Doesn't mean I don't respect your opinion on the issue.

Oh, and I liked the giant inflatable batik puppets ... it was fun watching them from the coat rack area, between runs to the bar and getting people to wear masks. I'm sure you'll have fun!
