The funniest part was that the cops told me to leave while I was just walking by &#8230; I mean, seriously, I didn&#8217;t even stop. Actually, they stopped me in order to tell me to leave. I didn&#8217;t think it was worth mentioning <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlanticwire.com\/national\/2011\/11\/84-year-old-woman-becomes-pepper-sprayed-face-occupy-seattle\/45035\/\">until I saw this<\/a>. I think the whole movement is really fed by such stories in a very grim way.<\/p>\n<p>The movement is interesting and the Seattle one is especially noteworthy since the weather is really bad.<\/p>\n<p>Well, well &#8230; very strange. Btw., the conference was absolutely great! Well, it was a bit too small (crowded) and the Party in the Space Needle was rather disastrous (reminded me a bit of the SC08 Texas thing without food). It was the opposite though this time &#8212; there was a lot of excellent food and drinks, but there was simply no space to stand. And getting up the needle was a 1-hour effort, well, Jim and I found a secret shortcut ;-). Here is the proof:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unixer.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/573273-1565463-797-L.jpg\" alt=\"573273-1565463-797-L\" title=\"573273-1565463-797-L\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-919\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SC11 is over now! And we even had a 1.5 hours break before SC12 started for the committee :-). It was a great show, bigger, better everything. ~5k people in the technical program and ~12k total.<\/p>\n<p>PS: I know that Mount Rainier and the Space Needle can not fit on a picture like this &#8230; it&#8217;s called artistic freedom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of days ago was one of those nights where I went back from the parties to my (slightly remote) hotel.
