THE FLAG 2008

[giovanni]

Hi gang, Giovanni here.
I decided to start a new thread to resume up all our messages on the flag issue and to state as it follows:

THE FLAG MISSION WILL GO ON WITH NO INTERRUPTION AT ALL.
DM and I have already swapped a few messages a few minutes ago and we agreed on going on.

Ok, the idea was about letting Stewart touch and have the Flag by the last day of the tour (rumours says it will be around the end of July, early August).
GeorgyGirl is one of the first supporter of Stewart website since the early days of SC.it and she deserves all the due respect.
Even if I don't know how it all happened, she had the chance to meet Stewart and the Flag got in his hands. No problem, nothing change.

REMEMBER: the Flag mission is to show Stewart our love and devotion at many concerts as possible, and the fact that Stewart touched the Flag doesn't change this meaning at all, and we all have to thank DM for this great idea.

Now, as you can read from the official TP.com, the tour is adding more and more concerts day by day; the Flag has a long journey to face, and many more months have to pass to reach the end of the tour.

Let's put it like that:
the Flag has accomplished its first run of 2007; the Flag was in the middle of wind, rain, mud, hands, sun, pens, tables, lights, crowds, flashes (many many many)...
Stewart gave his blessing for the first part of the travel; the Flag got the official 2007 blessing, even if there are some more moments to come before the end of the year (Josè, keep the Flag alive, soon it will be your turn).

But another great year of Flag pointing is coming!
2008: more wind, rain, mud, hands, sun, pens, tables, lights, crowds, flashes (many many many) to face!

HERE I DECLARE THAT:

- DM is the FIRST AMBASSADOR OF THE FLAG;

- DM is the one that I vote to give the Flag to Stewart at one of the shows at the end of the tour (if, when and how will be planned when it will be possible after discussing this with Stewart in a few months).

Do you agree?

Let's keep the good vibes my friends, the Flag is in the middle of a fantastic journey; the Flag got its blessing for 2007, but needs to be alive and kicking in the new year as well...
Let's make it even more special in 2008 as it will be harder than 2007!
THE FLAG NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!

Keep the beat folks and enjoy life!

I do feel sad for DM but I think georgygirl didn't mean to upset DM or any sc.nutter for that matter.

Vivre le drapeau vert!

Of course not! I'm sure she just got caught up in the excitement of meeting <gulp> Stewart. Still say it's too bad the way it played out, but Gio's got the right idea. Flag in '08-- yeah!

AMEN GIO!

Hey, life dishes out shit you don't expect. That little flag has done so much and isn't ready to be done yet.

Thanks Gio, Thanks DM, and thanks Georgy for sharing the moment with us.

I know if anyone besides DM deserves a moment in the sun it is GG. Hell, it's definitely not me! Shit happens. Stewart saw the flag. He LOOKS for it every night!

I don't think he's going to stop looking now, so as long as DM lets me have it in my hot little paws, I am going to fly that motherfucker proudly!

I serve my flag, my general, and my countrypeople with pride and honour!!!!!!
