this is going to be interesting...

the torch's movements have now gone underground:

"Newsom said the planned 6-mile torch route along the central waterfront and around Fisherman's Wharf could change up to and even during the relay. Police said security plans would include having officers run alongside torchbearers to protect them and the flame from any protesters who might try to disrupt the run." (from sfgate)
as someone who was heartened to see the first sf response--hanging giant signs from the gg bridge--and expects to see the torch in person wednesday, i may have to think like a hot potato...

Stay safe tomorrow. Simple crowding of the relay could result in shoving matches by the police surrounding the torch-bearer -- that could cause a crowd to surge backwards, without any violence involved.
