Well tonight was decidedly not awesome. Definitely the worst night I've had out there, and I'm not quite sure what I was doing wrong. Talked to about 50 people, but most of them waved me off before I could even get going. A few listened but then declined. A few others were actively anti-ACLU, and one old man even called the group "a bunch of criminals" and me a "bastard." There was spittle involved. It wasn't pretty.

I did talk to a couple of individuals that were members, but neither of them wanted to donate again tonight.

It's my first night since I started where I made $0. I guess the streak had to end sometime, but I'm not thrilled it was this week, which is only 4 days because of the 4th on Wednesday. Some people are working on Saturday to make up for it, but Lu and I will be north and east, at the High Sierra Music Festival. Really looking forward to that!

The 'hood I was in was nice, but there was definitely a conservative bent to the locale. The view was rather awesome, though, with SFO down below in the distance, right next to the water. Sunset was gorgeous, and it was fun to watch the planes take off and land.

I think the part that bothers me the most isn't even the lack of new members, but rather the fact that almost no one even wanted to give me the time of day. I was a lonesome ghost rattling the chains of constricted liberty tonight, but the hood I haunted was empty of empathy.

PS... to say that I'm disgusted by Dubs would be a vast understatement. I'm not at all surprised he commuted Libby's sentence, but it's still a complete miscarriage of justice.
