Madison, WI at State St. A huge crowd formed on State St around 12:30am within about a 10 min period and then marched to the capitol. Here's a rundown of the scene by some guy named Ben Masel: "160 out of the Majestic, swells to 1,000 when we hit the Mall. 500 turned around, joined by another march of 700 coming out of the dorms. 1,500 at the Square, turns around again, 6,000 on Bascom Hill, turn around again and hit the Capitol with 8,000. 1/2 hour later, the streets were empty. MPD wisely backed off, tho a little slow on the uptake in rerouting traffic. I had to divert the busses. Most sober mob I've ever joined."
