But then the program began and I couldn’t hear a thing. They so underestimated the number of people who would attend that the speakers stopped at the point that far less than half the gathered masses could hear. The main entertainment out there was the ritualistic chanting of ‘louder Louder LOUDER’.
So then like a shark I was, bobbing and weaving always on the move in and out in and out to see if I could make it up to a place where I could hear. HA, not a chance. I asked an amazingly tall guy to take this shot. This is as close as I got. The stage is the decorated bit in front of the Capitol in the far distance.
