We Sneaky SFers
Lol, the Relay team for the Olympic Torch run has moved the route without telling anyone. Instead of being on Embarcadero, it's now on Pine St. So all the protestors are waiting at the wrong route. So many freaking cops as you can see in my tumblr post (http://mythark.tumblr.com/post/31287353). It's crazy cause we're only getting weak helicopter feeds and cell phone camera pics online as all the media cameras are still at embarcadero. I'm sad I'm missing this, but at least I can watch along with the befuddled news anchors.

So hour late, and new route (with rumored boat relay), barely any protestors... This is awesome. Yay for San Francisco! ^_^ any updates will be via ETA.

eta 1 poor stranded protesters. One lil scuffle so far but relatively calm. I'll have more running commentary on my twitter account. Seems like the relay's heading towards golden gate bridge, passing Gallileo HS (Bay&Gough st.) Sorry to zephre for listening to all my rambles.

eta 2 now at the marina near chrissie fields. Hey protesters, no need to throw bottles or objects at the torch runners. >_> Very quick exchanges and running and seems to be coming to an end soon?

eta 3 on freeway now, i think it's interesting that they're alone now with all the spectators trying to follow along the highway. Image here. Small closing ceremony at undisclosed location. Maybe finally coming to a close.

Nonetheless, Good Job San Francisco! We hosted a rather peaceful relay that was just sneaky and awesome. Now the Olympic officials will have a good feeling about continiuing the international relay. Way to show off that we may be liberal (and a bit crazy [not as crazy as Berkely XD j/k]) but we can still host a peaceful yet controversial event. ^_^
