Rather relaxing actually. Even had one person come up to me and ask about the legalities of OC. He is getting his CC permit soon, I refered him to OCDO, and chatted a bit. Found a coffee mug with "Disapearing Civil Liberties" on it. Add hot water, and portions of the Bill of Rights vanish. "Brought to you by the Patriot Act" So I went into the store (Archibald Sisters) while OCing and bought it. Crowded in there, no problems. Went into Last Word Books, bought two books, nobody batted an eye. Same thing at Old School, two slices no probs. Was in JavaFlow while they were hosting an NA meeting, quite crowded, nobody batted an eye.

Probably my most active (in terms of numbers of stores visited) OC outing in Oly to date...

I'm still stoked about last night. I brought up the meeting on a local blog

Oh, and I did notice 2-3 OPD cars drive towards Old School on our way out last night. Glad to hear they didn't give anyone trouble after we left, although it sure sounds like they were casing the place. Just like TPD; if they want to waste resources "watching", good for them.
