I live across the Convention Center loading dock. I have been trying to figure out what was happening all weekend because the load-in was huge!

Likewise, it felt like the march became less of a protest. I missed having a sober area and quiet areas outside. There were too many choke points around the stages. There was no logical order to the placement of various vendors and services. It felt focussed on the entertainment and spectacle.

It was very cozy and comforting.
