Photo Essay - John Edwards Visits The Writers
a writer's perspective
As the strike heads into week three, writers are excited about Friday's late announcement that negotiations are going to resume on November 26. (Thank you Variety for the completely unslanted breaking news headline "Writers Agree To Talk".)
Yesterday, LAist covered John Edwards appearance at a writers rally on Friday. The post spoke about all of the photos turning up on the web. I thought I would close the lid on Week 2 with some pictures of my own.
The last remaining Munchkins turned up to show their support.
They gave interviews...
...and they got to meet John Edwards.
Some writers got in on the interview action too.
These girls gave out free water and lemonade to the writers.
A few lucky people got their picture taken with "the next president of the United States".
This mailman was on hand to deliver residual checks.
I know it's supposed to be a joke, but I have actually gotten residual checks smaller than this!
Cuter than a Munchkin.
It was great for Edwards to come out and show his support. The day was a success, so don't be surprised if Hillary or Obama make it out for their own photo ops soon.
