thank you!! what a damn night.
edit: definitely saw i think a few (but at least one) people getting hauled off on stretchers in the wake of the second one. one girl was sitting in the street, crying & screaming (i think probably pretty reasonably), but i don't think she was physically hurt. broken glass everywhere with all the busted windows. it was pretty rough business!
