They've been planning it for a month and a half now. Occupying an entire building at an as-yet-undisclosed location in downtown Oakland, while having a shitload of fun doing it. At least that's the plan.
From what I've seen tweeted peeps are coming from all over California and beyond to participate.
Will Mayor Quan show up, groove with the bands and eat free food? Or will she send in the Oakland Police First Amendment Suppression 600? Or both?
The weather is cooperating; sunny and warm is the forecast for Saturday. Whatever happens, it's going to be a Hella Day tomorrow.
Come on down.
