1/8/2009 Demonstration in Oakland

If anyone else works in downtown Oakland I encourage you to leave the area a little earlier than you might normally. Word is reaching buisness owners in the area that there's another demonstration gathering at 3PM.

I'm getting my STI out of here! Don't need any broken windows.
