The organization being protested hoped to raise $3100 over the weekend. They actually raised close to $8000.

There were a few places-The Dallas Holocaust Museum, the Texas Jewish Post, the Yavneh Academy of Dallas, Congregation Beth El Binah (the LGBT synagogue), Chabad of Dallas and the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe

Also a lot of people who might not have got to tour the museum, which is actually pretty amazing.

Also, in the pictures there's a German Shepherd Dog with a sign on his collar that says, "I can lick my own junk!"

I liked the "Free Parking!" sign, because you know the oppression parking has been under.

I like the guy standing up front with a sign aimed at the Phelps which says "You morons!"

U.K. Designer “Grows” an Entire Wardrobe From Bacteria

OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME. I wonder how well-tailored you can make something.

Can we expect news from Clovis and his bacterial minions?

I liked the simple "I like pie!" sign. A bunch of my friends were up at Lee Harvey's [link] making signs for the protest.

Did I read somewhere that Phelps was going to protest at Comic-Con? Because the potential for hilarious and/or freaky counter-protests is sky-high there.

I do love a good funny counter-protest.

Speaking of tv watching, I tried to watch Murder on the Orient Express with David Suchet last night

Argh! I forgot to tape that. Luckily, it should be available online to stream.

My meeting went fine, I got on an earlier train, and we just passed the stop that I sat at for four hours on Saturday, so I am feeling pretty good about my day.

Yep:

San Diego Convention Center 111 W Harbor Dr. WBC to picket Comic Con 2010 at the San Diego Convention Center. Are you kidding?! If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn to God like you mean it. The destruction of this nation is imminent - so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry.

P-C, are you going to SDCC this year?
