1. Tough choice! Too bad those can't be your "two days".
But I know you live out of state somewhere so that would be impossible!

Have Fun! I hope you have a place to stay overnight with all that "hospiltality" goin' on.

2. Just a Thought--
Take precautions, get a good gas mask-not one on those Israeli things- I cover a lot of this stuff (i'll be there too) and you have no idea how much you love gas masks until you need one ;) Have a plan, move a lot, connect with people that can let you know what is going to happen before it does. Above all, trust your instinct. When I originally started to plan to photograph this event, I thought it would be relatively calm. Now, I'm becoming thoroughly convinced that it is going to get really crazy.
