Now that it’s been officially announced that Comedy Central will be live-broadcasting the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity on October 30, it seems safe for us to officially announce that we’ll be hosting a viewing party at the Mission Theater from 8 am-noon. After that, we’ll head across town to the Eastbank Esplanade to join the Portland Rally for Sanity—creative bike ride/carpool transportation ideas TBD.
(Thanks to commenters Stu, Abusive, et al, for suggesting this and pushily following up on it a whole bunch in the comments.)
Yay!
(I’ll see if I can find any placard-building materials to bring along…)
@Stu Oh, that’s a great idea. I’ll see if we can’t rustle up some supplies too.
Waking up early on a Saturday + drinks + sign making = FUN!
That’s five days after my birthday, just so people know to give me drinks.
Really? A viewing party for a faux rally hosted by Comedy Central? Boy, that will turn the midterm elections!
How many people are aware that Jon Stewarts brother is chief operating officer of the New York Stock Exchange?
OH DEAR GOD THAT IS EARLY.
Still….I will be there! #andhungover
Let the record show I totally called the mission.
Also, let it show that I make awesome signs.
Restore sanity?
So are they aiming to do that on the local, state or federal level?
Wow I can’t believe my bitching has come to something.
I now have fuel for my fire.
Mwaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa.
Srsly tho. You’re a good job.
D you should get in on “The March to Keep Fear Alive”.
Whoa, it will be so hard to go because I’m always partying super crazy and having this nutso social life and I can never get up by 8am on the weekends.*
*Lie.
nyah, haaa, I just commented on the older post. thank you all for making this happen! (’cause gawd knows I’m way too damn cheap to pay for basic cable – this is a streaming household, I’ll have you know.)
OH GOD THE JEWS CONTROL EVERYTHING.
The Mission is a fine place for this. Thanks, Merc!
I thought PDXers were all about keeping it weird versus keeping it sane.
@catandbeard These days keeping it sane is weird:=)))
