And it seems pretty pointless on the police perpspective to attempt to shut down such an event, it would not have ended favorably and I applaud Portland Police for their respect of our rights, and peaceful crowd control. Even when people were climbing on the Max stops they didnt disperse or even fine anyone really. they fulfilled their jobs not as nannys, but peace keepers. This doesnt happen in many places. Dave made a life long memory for me. Dont be such a downer.

Made it all the way to the front center of the stage with my bro. We could hear everything. Everyone was sort of confused and that added to the Performance Art that was last night. Glad I was a part of it. Good times last night! Made it all the way to the front center of the stage with my bro. We could hear everything.

Apparently Dave Chappelle can do no wrong in your eyes... the blamelessness of celebrity perhaps? As far as I can tell, Dave started a rumor which spread rapidly via internet, and when thousands showed up to see if the rumor was true, Dave let them down by appearing late and unprepared. Lame, but an interesting social experiment nonetheless. You blame the city for the lack of sound? Apparently Dave Chappelle can do no wrong in your eyes… the blamelessness of celebrity perhaps?

I made my way up to the stage and was literally 5 feet away from Chapelle the whole time. He walked right by me when entering the stage and I got to touch him on the shoulder. Even though it was hard to hear, I saw, and touched, the greatest comedian alive. Even if I was far away and didn't hear a thing, seeing him was worth it.

When the crowd started to rock the tent over the stage back and forth and the drunk girl started the flash show I figured it wasn't gonna happen. After seeing the vids I don't feel to bad tho.
