Update on Occupy New Orleans: I'm stuck at home with pneumonia, but I've been keeping up with what's going on as much as I can. The first planned event was a march that went really well, estimated 300+ protesters. The New Orleans police were surprisingly nice and well behaved. From what I understand, the occupation is doing well and growing. Today or yesterday the mayor visited. A lot of people don't like him, but I think it scored him some points with protesters.
