I work in the big brown building with the big blue sign downtown....A lot of us are working next week mostly out of morbid curiosity.

I heard one group is going to set up "checkpoints" around town so that "citizens can understand what life in Iraq is like".

A guy I ride the light rail with is a welder at the Mint. They're reinforcing the fence around the Mint - he said the guy from Recreate68 sent an email to the head of the Mint stating "we are going to shake the change out of the Mint"

The last Democratic convention had 1,500 protesters total. I doubt we'll exceed that. Talk's cheap these days.
