  1. I left last night’s CB1 meeting as I a) couldn’t get in the door and was lonely in the hallway b) couldn’t see into the room c) didn’t want to get hit by a stray bullet from either side of the 170 St. John’s Street factions. It was escalating nicely, though. Was there rioting? Handbags at dawn? Bloodshed?

  2. @Orinoco: Beats me; I don’t go to the main CB1 meetings. Anyone out there care to report?
