Any alumni here when there was springfest?

Yes - I stayed for a while until I had a gas canister land about 15 feet from me. Then I covered my face and hauled ass.

The moment I'll never forget of that was when they threw a canister and some kid picked it up, threw it back and it landed perfectly between a group of officers who, for reasons unknown, were not wearing gas masks. They clearly were not expecting that and scattered.

To this day I still stand it could have been avoided, every year up unto that point it was made very clear - do not step off of the sidewalk or you will get arrested. There were cops just waiting for you to do it. That year though they didn't care and people were everywhere - up until they DID care and all hell broke loose.

EDIT - Joey's picture above proves my point, you can see people are everywhere in that parking lot
