Bizarre and probably foolhardy idea...

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Especially given how my last field trip went.

But here's the idea. I imagine that most of you know that the G8 summit in Seattle at the beginning of November has "the mutant question" on the agenda; it's been flagged in the database for the last several weeks, after all. In any case, I've gotten my hands on some schedules that haven't been released for public consumption yet - the new job is good for all kinds of things - and there are going to be a large number of NGOs and other groups interested in mutant affairs there making presentations to the summit at various events. That's not even touching upon the 'unofficial' events.

I think it would be very educational for a number of our kids, especially those with political leanings, to see just how these things work - or don't work, depending on how cynical you're feeling. I have actually been to a large number of summit-type occasions myself, and no, you don't want to know the details.

So, thoughts? It would be for a couple of days, tops, and really, I think the kids could use a break after the last couple of weeks of lockdown.

Of course, I would need chaperones. Lots and lots of chaperones.
