get serious like crazy.

so G20 craziness going on this weekend. half the campus is shut down. security has been upped like whoa. i haven't managed a walk down into oakland, but i'm betting it's looking pretty ridic.

what with bill gates and australia's rep coming onto campus, suffice it to say security on campus has gone through the roof. this is all going to be followed by a conference/meeting/dealio at phipps conservatory right behind campus. hence, the back half of the campus has been closed down and classes in those buildings cancelled. i just happen to have class...in the buildings next to/between the ones being shut down. grrreeeeaaat...

what i got to walk past on my way off campus:

<-- at first, about 10 police officers stationed every five feet outside warner hall. checking IDs of everyone attempting to get inside. fyi, this is the building where the hub and whatnot are, so ie. not a small amount of traffic.




then, i walked around the corner.
that's about 50+ officers waiting outside cyert to be dispersed all over campus.
not to mention the 30+ who joined them later. and did i mention they were all packed with cable-tie handcuffs, batons and whatnot?

well, at least it's making this start to the year all the more eventful...
