1. I can see Pershing Square from my office window
That is the Los Angeles protest meeting point. I see nothing there now. I'll keep an eye on things throughout the day. Feel free to PM me to remind me. It's going to be a busy day and I'm not sure I'll be able to check in here much.

3. I figure some live traffic cameras should
have something in a couple of the locations at least.
Tom Morello will be at a protest location in L.A., so that might make some news.

6. I'm seeing helicopters circling Pershing Square, Downtown Los Angeles
I don't see too many people in the square though. I can see about 25% of the square itself... I'm about a block away.

9. Pershing Square is a-buzz with activity!
It took a while for the crowd to build, but it looks like it's going strong right now! I've seen a lot of helicopters and news vans.
