How did you spend International Human Rights Day (10 Dec)?
I was at the Human Rights Concert here in Shillong. The whole reason I’d gone was to see a sort-of famous singer, Lou Majaw, who is well-known for both his Bob Dylan covers as well as his hot pants.
Sadly, though, Monday was a bit cold…and the concert started nearly 45 minutes late. After about four hours of sitting in the FREEEEEEZING cold, I called it a night before Mr. Majaw even made it on stage for his performance. (I wonder if it was too cold for his hot pants?)
The performances ranged from not-so-great to really good (but, yes, they were all performing for a good cause, so I shouldn’t judge…yada, yada, yada).
I filmed a few bits of the performances…I have a feeling you might recognize a few of the songs from the night, too…
10 points for the most number recognized!
Very cool. I spent International Human Rights Day (well, the Saturday before Human Rights Day) at a Prayer and Candlelight Vigil for Human Rights event in OC, specifically focused on the human rights violations in Viet Nam. Photos in the website listed. =)
If you were in VN right now, you could have caught the student protests in Saigon and Hanoi against China’s interest in taking over the Spartly and Paracel Islands.

Yes, I do think your opinion is righteous. (So do lots of people). Luckily majority of people are intelligent
