I was at the Colliseum when they were lining up to go and then I hopped on my motorcycle. I beat them to the first major intersection by about 30 minutes (quite a hike they had) and I was there before ANY cops were. Shortly thereafter bike cops and riot cops showed up. But had this been planned wouldn't it stand to reason that the corner would have long been manned? I have over 600 shots of the march. Look for a post (or three or four) soon.

Abandond...all but a few canopies waiting to come down. A beautiful park venue which at that time should have been filled with 10's of thousands listening to music and speechs. This beautiful park next to the Platte river could have easily held 50,000 people with ample services, food vendors, 40-50 port-a-potties, and a dozen dumpsters, Not to mention health/paramedic services. The 10,000 that did show up on Sunday, all to sign up for Rage Tickets, dwindled to a couple hundred and today after the concert, it is deserted. Too bad huge oppertunity missed...It had a great vibe. As I was leaving downtown Denver tonite, the sky ablaze with a spectactular western sunset, I cruised past Curnevaca Park.
