definitely felt like a non event by the time i got there. no sound systems, no food, no floats, no stalls. just hundreds and hundreds of police, some in riot helmets, and a few tourists and strollers.
i was hoping the event was gonna run into the night, at least for a few hours. from what coppithat said, it seems they wanted to clear the streets by nightfall. bumped into one bloke who said he saw one copper get shanked in the neck yesterday.
