This.
But more importantly…
ACL 2009
G20, Day 1
Damn CMU for its secure and safe area. I saw absolutely nothing happen today amidst the stories of tear gas and police dogs downtown. Sigh.
I’ve got two pictures. It turns out that Pittsburgh has an inordinate amount of anarchists. I don’t know what’s worse–them or the extremists at the other end.
