OK, I just have to blog about the riot that happened over the weekend. For complete information, please visit TheOrion.com. I'm really disappointing that I wasn't able to be there for the not-riot riot (because some newspaper don't consider it a riot). I was there for the post-show with cops patrolling up and down the streets, but I missed the fires and arrests. I wanted to take pictures for my photojournalism class.
People got arrested, some were hurts, many hours of sleep were lost and many people will not forget the night. I got the call at about 2 a.m. from the managing editor who told me there was a riot and that we had video and photos and a story to come soon. Unfortunantely the AC adapter on my laptop has been broken for a couple of weeks, so my only access to a computer is at school. So I treked to school at 2 a.m., but before going down to The Orion, I visited the riot site. I was really dissapointed to find no rioters still going, but I shot some pictures and headed down to the basement.
While many people were sleeping away at home, I hung out at The Orion until 4 a.m. when the story was ready to go. Applause goes out to those who spent all of their sleeping hours combining their brains together to put out the story. Then I got ahold of it, proofread a little and got ready to work on the slideshow and videos. That took another hour, but I was finally able to go home at 5 a.m. Yay!
That's how I spent my night of the riot. How about you?
