I needed to get out of the house for a bit, so wandered into downtown to see a movie. Now, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clr.utoronto.ca\/cgi-bin\/clrdb\/VIRTUALLIB\/CLIP\/clipadd?DB.REPORT=full&amp;DB.RECORD=52\" title=\"Architectural page about the Plaza\">Westlake Plaza<\/a> seems to be the focal point for most (all?) of the protests in Seattle, and it&#8217;s becoming somewhat second nature to swing by and see who&#8217;s protesting what each weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Today, though, the protest was something that actually interests me! There&#8217;s been a lot of political struggle here in Seattle recently over the Teen Dance Ordinance (lots of background information can be found via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=seattle+teen+dance+ordinance\" title=\"Google search for 'seattle teen dance ordinance'\">this Google search<\/a>). A local organization called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwlnc.org\/\" title=\"NW Late Night Coalition\">NorthWest Late Night Coalition<\/a> was in the plaza today, holding a rally to gain support for their part in the battle to repeal the TDO, with an information booth, speakers, and DJ&#8217;s playing. It was pretty interesting, and I stopped by to watch for a while. I ended up chatting with two of the volunteers helping out (Dolly and Chloe, if I remember correctly) and let them know a bit about my history in Anchorage working with Gig&#8217;s and the Lost Abby.<\/p>\n<p>Once I got home, I stopped by their website and signed up &#8212; mayhaps I&#8217;ll start getting involved in things down here! Would be very cool&#8230;here&#8217;s hoping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been a lot of political struggle here in Seattle recently over the Teen Dance Ordinance.
