has been hard at work on this. Starting tomorrow night, they'll have a new (loud!) speaker system. I'm there as often as I can; couldn't make it tonight.

instead of the same people other than the organizers. I read that they collected $30,000 in only 3 days last week. They hired mariachi bands, opera singers, and sax players. It is street theater. Abbie Hoffman would approve.
