FYI - At one FReep, where we were at the Civic Center across from the Plaza in front of another building, we didn't have a permit (there were only a few of us) but, the police told us we couldn't go ON the Plaza (I think as a group) because the Lefties had a permit for the WHOLE plaza and for sound. (And when we had a bullhorn at another FReep, we were told we could not use it while their speakers were speaking.)
Hopefully, the surrounding sidewalks will be free. Guess we'll find out. : )
(And, you're right, IMO, it's not the same time and place - different time, different sidewalk.)
Thanks again STL! Good job! : )
