Defeated by Jerk Bus

[lb-lee.livejournal.com]

Welp, that was a total bust.

The Jerk Bus beat me.  They kept moving too fast, not staying anywhere for long, and spreading misinformation about when and where they'd be, so I couldn't catch up to them.  It was like chasing Carmen San Diego; by the time I'd arrived at the State House, they'd already moved to Harvard, and I suspected that the moment I got to Harvard, they'd leave again.

So now I've got a bunch of resources and nothing to do with them.  You can download the whole load free here, I guess; I'm gonna take it down in a week, because some of it is pirated and I don't want to bilk my own community.  The whole thing contains:

Sorry...I heard there were a healthy number of protests, which is probably why they kept moving!

Plus, amusingly, there was nowhere to park and they didn't have special permits. I heard when they got to gov center that btd made them move after just a minute.

Serious jerkbus.

You tried your best to implement an awesome plan, and they probably zoomed through Boston because they knew they'd get egged if they stayed still long enough for their fulminant ridiculousness to be read.
