Hundreds of thousands in Manhattan today, enough that it took five hours to march 20 blocks, and no violence. The only thing remotely hary was the black block setting fire to their little paper mache dragon, an almost plaful gesture (considering it was in the middle of the street and posed no real danger) which gave everyone else the chance to applaud and cheer for the FDNY.

It couldn't have gone down better. Rest of the week we're doing trainings and concerts; we'll see what else happens. By all accounts today was a major success.
