Was anyone here there besides me? I'm still looking for a thread on the event itself.

Hello everyone, I just returned from Phoenix. My god it was hot!!!!!! Yes, it was over 107 degrees, with VERY LITTLE SHADE!!!!!!! The medics were handling people right and left with heat stroke. I myself got real dizzy twice and almost landed up the same way. At one point I couldn't even walk ten feet in the sun, because as soon as I got out of the semi-shade I got dizzy.
There was a real problem with the video camera, something out of my hands that I had no control of. So sorry I don't have any videos, but Digger of Diggers Realm and Ruth his girl friend said the would send us some to post. I'll try to contact them later as soon as I unload the car and settle in. The reports were there were two thousand, but I say there were at least twenty-five hundred, maybe three thousand. I went up with a group of seven women (Chelene's buddies I might add).

Anyway, I arrived just a little before the starting time (3:00), after being held up by the motorcycle procession at about three separate intersections. I figured they were there for the rally, so I didn't begrudge them the delay. I got to hear a few speeches, including one by Tom Tancredo that was absolute dynamite! He joked about how since Phoenix was apparently the kidnapping capital of the country that the "real" John McCain had probably been kidnapped seeing as how he conveniently changed his stance on illegal immigration. He also bashed Barack Obama and called him dangerous, which delighted me. And every time a speaker mentioned the name of Janet Napolitano there was a chorus of loud boos. I managed to find a few familiar faces, including Lupe Moreno, who was also one of the speakers, Robin Hvidston, and Jeremy and Heather (AKA: GSB and Jalira). I chatted briefly with all of the above. Jeremy and Heather said they'd about had it with California and are now living in Arizona. I also found Chelene and talked with her for a while about old times and things. In case any of you are wondering, neither of us told any tales out of school. There was one disturbing bit of information I picked up, that is, if it's true. I stopped to talk with a fellow who was supporting a candidate for governor of Arizona who happens to be named Dean Martin. I asked the guy what he had against Governor Brewer, and he said that the governor was actually late to the party with SB1070 and had been a professional politician much like John McCain when it came to the illegal immigration issue until just recently. He said he was supporting Martin because he was a true conservative, as opposed to Brewer, who had been more or less of a party hack. Oh, well.

Thanks for the report. I am glad no one got sick from the heat. I am surprised you forgot a hat. In the thread I told Jean to be sure and take sun glasses, a hat and a long sleeve shirt. Thanks a million for going.
It was good to hear about meeting Heather and GSB there. SZ was in SD and he met Sonar there. Jean, that bit about getting dizzy from the heat is why I had to limit attendance here at home. I stay out of the heat. Thanks for going, you really did have to work to get a ride.
