We’re cooler than the movie anyway!
COLUMBIA, MO- After close to five months of traveling the country in an anti-Bush around the country, you get used to getting kicked out of places. It was no surprise that when we opened up the bus in a Columbia movie theater parking lot on the opening night of “W” that our time would be limited. We opened up the bus and invited patrons of the theater to look at a different way of presenting Bush’s failures on their way to the movie. Given that the theater has a privately owned lot, we were nicely asked to leave by the managment after around 20 minutes. We packed up and left, content that at least one theater in Columbia was actually showing the film. It should also be noted that the Bush Legacy Bus has received much better reviews than “W” and it’s factual and free! Bring your own pop-corn and milk duds.
The next morning we took the bus to the local Saturday morning farmer’s market and opened it up to the public. Weekend farmer’s market have become a staple of the tour. The response in Columbia was great and we had dozens of people come through the bus, squash and pumpkins in tow.
