[Seattle-editorial] Re: FEATURE PROPOSAL: 9 Lives in 9 Years: Birth of 'The Seattle Movement'

[Susan]

Two thumbs up!!!   Wonderful work, Brandon!!   I like the last photo link 
best --- the large crowd in black and white.  I'll publish the story as 
soon as I see two additional thumbs up!

I do have audio from the press conference, which Jonathan posted earlier 
... I'll add the link in when the story goes up.  I'll also have audio 
available (today?) from the rally on Sunday.  Thanks for being so timely 
about this story!
