At this moment I am as close to the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles California. Im As close as you can get before the Police begin asking to see your ticket and wrist band. There are more police here then I have EVER seen before. As I approached I saw at least 30 motor bikes lined up with twice that number of police blocking the streets.
I met a wonderful man by the name of Lowell who was from Lancaster who rides his bike all across the country. He is planning a journey from Alaska to the US.
At this moment I am sitting at the corner of Pico and Figueroa watching the crowds form. There are tons of shirts, posters, food, water and even your staple street preacher. Tension among him and the crowd builds every now and then. I have to give him credit for being loud as crap! He began talking about how Michael is in hell if he didn’t know Jesus as his savior. This did NOT go well with the crowd. They began a series of chants shouting “MICHAEL” over Nd over. I fAiled to mention the sign he has over his head that is yellow with purple text that has Phillippians 2:10-11 on it. Obviously it would be impossible to pick a better day to street preach (Sarcasm). I do appreciate the people who have speakers built into their bags blasting some good music over the guy.
