All Quiet on the Westside Front

So I got up bright and early, video camera in hand, prepared to do some citizen journalism at the crazy protests.

Except... there aren't any. Right now it's just a lot of frustrated reporters trying and failing to do man on the street stuff and a couple people who are already in line to get their seats (doors aren't until 11, though).

In the place of protesters we've got posters and counter-posters and counter-everything posters. I've been taking some pictures of my favorite ones, which'll be up when I get back to my own computer and can upload them (I'm in Butler right now.)

Basically, the mood right now is that oh-so-cliche-calm before the storm, just with a few people frantically trying to find that one spot that still hasn't been covered in a poster.

I'll keep you all informed.
