3. What was that leader/response sequence at the beginning?

I played the clip twice and still couldn't make out what they were saying.

8. They do that because the cops won't allow amplification

So whoever is speaking says a phrase and then a dozen people behind them repeat it in unison.

It's still hard to make out some of it -- but once you realize it's the same thing being repeated, it gets a little easier.

4. Does it look bigger this morning

to anyone besides me? The momentum seems to be growing on the ground. It is definitely growing in cyberspace.

[FluxRostrum]

5. yes

its growing daily
this weekend will be huge
Monday should be.. insane

6. really?

I dunno if hula hoops and breasts are the best way to make your point or take your stand. This looks more like a burning man festival than a news worthy protest and is definitely cause for many people to not attend and stand with the others.

And yeah, what was going on in the beginning? It sounded like some sort of oath but I would love to know what is being recited.

7. I agree...

and after 15 years in the live music industry...I can't even take the Neo-Hippies seriously.

The Paleo-Hippies...they stood for something. Todays Neo-Hippy stands for nothing. They trash Red Rocks for every hippy show. Exponentially more dirty in the surrounding park after hippy shows than any other type of shows. They also show up with hordes of dogs. The city always has to deal with hundreds of abandoned dogs after hippy shows.

I want to see more normal young people out there. Not bikinis. Not silly patchwork clothing. Not white kids of rich parents wearing dreadlocks. Not hula hoops. They sully every movement they touch.

10. Agreed. Neo-Hippies are lame.

They don't take a clear stance and they have even worse fashion. They are detached from the daily lives of most Americans. Wake me up when it's May Day 2012.

9. this was

this was an hour or 2 out of a 7 day protest

in the beginning they are using "the people's microphone" at a general assenbly to disseminate legal information about being snatched by cops while sleeping in the middle of the night.
