So I went to the concert with media credentials I obtained under my own name. I was thrown out of the event within an hour. For nothing.
Andrew Wilkow spotted me. You'll remember Andrew from this phone call. Apparently, he's still not over the embarrassment that caused him because he sicced the goons on me and I was done before I could interview a single person.
Some "Freedom" concert. They even billed it as a tribute to veterans. And I spent four years in the Marines!
There's a lot more to the story, but I'm shopping it around some major media types, so for now, I'm saving it for them.
Oh - I didn't tell you: these guys, once again, have shot themselves in the foot. I had actually received two sets of media credentials and I attended with Evan Derkacz of Alternet's Peek. He was to be the video guy while I interviewed wingnuts. They didn't throw him out, so we were able to get a lot of good stuff on tape.
Until we release the tape, however, go have fun looking at these pics. Bearded Lady Devil Worshipper
