Your kid might have skipped school today but it was for a cause. It looks like today's student walkout to protest war in Iraq actually happened. There are so many attempts to make a statement that it's sometimes hard to separate effective, organized efforts from somebody with a lot of time to make flyers.
Here's an eyewitness account via instant messenger from a downtown highrise:
K: the kids are marching and they are loud

j: a lot of people?
K: not a ton, but it's not embarrassing either
j: 200?
K: yeah, at least - twoish blocks worth
in the street, not on sidewalks
they had drums
Eyewitness K reports the crowd is headed up Capitol Hill if you want to join up.
