Best wishes + Tips for political rallies?
First now all, a very happy birthday to
isis_whit :)
I know there's a fair amount of activists on my f-list, people who take part in political demonstrations, rallies, marches and so on. Care to share a few tips on surviving one when you know there probably will be trouble from a neo-Nazi counter-demonstration?
On Saturday there's a big march in Warsaw - the Equality Parade. On the surface, it's gay rights. It's turning into something of a demonstration against the current direction of the Polish political life. Since the newspapers in the last few months made my skin crawl more often than not, I'm going. The problem is, a neo-Nazi youth organisation will be conducting a counter-demonstration on the reverse path. There might be shouts, rocks, whatever.
I've got my outfit - jeans, t-shirt, no handbag, hair up in twists (stylish femme lesbian look not entirely coincidental). I've got an escort - guy's way over 6', a black-belt and a friend since birth. Any other practical tips for keeping safe and not ticking off the cops too much? We have a show to catch that evening ;)

Z butami dobra mysl. W razie czego eskorte mam taka, ze pewnie potrafi mnie nawet podniesc ;) A potem prosto do teatru na Wampirki, bo bardzo sie ucieszyl, ze uda mu sie polaczyc przyjemne z pozytecznym (specjalnie sie zamienili, pierwotnie mieli byc w ten weekend, a ciotka z siostrzencem za tydzien).

z innej beczki :
wstąpiłam też do empiku. nie śpiewali, dzieciaków tłum, były niedyskretne pytania o pierwszy raz ;) ( na szczęście muzyczny) i zero możliwości dopchania się do zdjęcia. kilka mam ale... Wyszłam rozczarowana po 15 minutach :>. Malwinie niedługo tylko oczy zostaną w twarzy, ale jest śliczna. A gryzoń przewodnik uśmiechał się często z tego co słyszałam:)

zdjęcia mogę przesłać mailem, powiedz tylko czy chcesz w oryginalnym rozmiarze, czy zmniejszyć.
