Blogger isn't great for photos, but here are a few of the aforementioned shots from the SOAW gathering. Click 'em for slightly larger versions.

Top to bottom: The Puppetista pageant; Saturday's crowd (merely 13,000 or so); the skeleton waves hello; cops seen through Ft. Benning fence; the fence w/names of the dead; me w/Holly Near; Charlie King eating a sandwich; George Shrub, the world's only known singing CIA agent; Father Roy Bourgeois (SOAW founder) and Francisco Herrera (SOAW stalwart and amazing singer); a smaller cousin to the Puppetista family.
