Wall Street is the place to be. You never know who's gonna show. Last week it was Kweli, and today Kanye and Russell Simmons - among thousands of like-minded citizens who believe in a more egalitarian world, of course - occupied Zuccotti Park (aka Liberty Plaza) in a show of solidarity with the 99%. Who knew the throne was in a park of hippies. Respect.
ALERT: Saturday is gonna be a VERY big day down here at the Occupation Party. So stay tuned (and sign up for our mailing list to be sure you get the RSVP link first).
