Like SMID, we were on the Mall yesterday facing the Lincoln Memorial. Tomorrow we'll be facing the other direction.
Despite some occasional hiccups - Josh Groban following a clip about Marian Anderson? - and some cold (all good practice for tomorrow) it was a fantastic concert. Granted we saw and heard much of it via the jumbotron - but to be in a giant crowd (400,000!) all so thrilled to be there and silent as a church mouse as we strained to hear Gene Robinson's prayer - was spectacular!
My favorite part. The one where we all sang the refrain together...

As the daughter of sixties activists, this was practically my bedtime song growing up.
I was delighted that ALL the lyrics were sung!
Wasn't it amazing! And after going to Memphis the boys really understood U2's Pride.
Although I'm still bitter it was shown on HBO. I can't tell you how many folks I know couldn't watch it because their local provider wouldn't "unlock" the channel.
