Bring Back The Hole! (Get Your Face In a Video!)
The Montrose Hole has a MySpace, and Ken Barnard, of the "Pro Hole Action Committee," misses the hole so much he's staging a protest to have it re-dug. And, of course, he's going to make a comedy video about it.
"There will be a Pro-Hole rally at the site of the Montrose Hole outside of the Brown Line station on Tuesday January 29, 2008 at 4:45. We will be protesting the filling-in of the Montrose Hole. Come and support with signs, chants, etc. This will officially be the Hole's first day filled, so a media presence is entirely possible. If we do our job well, they could be digging it up by Wednesday morning with golden shovels. We'll probably be there until 5:30 or so, so stop by. Hot cocoa at Ken's after."
This would be a good chance for those of you hipster-types who think of yourselves as progressive, but aren't actually registered to vote, to do something that feels like fulfilling civic responsibility.
