Election Eve Banner Drop (11-1-04)







Huntington Beach Banner Drop
We were on the pedestrian overpass near Warner Ave. for a full hour until darkness fell. The large number of positive responses of honks, waves, and thumbs up was truly amazing for OC! We were totally stoked and are very optimistic for the election tomorrow! Several CHP motorcycle cops drove under us, but none approached us. A traffic heliocopter circled above us for over 10 minutes, and we were even on the traffic report! A CHP motorcycle cop parked on the shoulder beneath us shouting orders from his loudspeaker (none of which we could understand) until he finally drove off. The use of a pedestrian overpass is really good, and we should remember to use them! Since we had two banners, we were able to face both the northbound and southbound lanes, significantly slowing traffic in both directions.
