So The Snitch, alongside thousands of Olympic supporters and protesters, hung around the Embarcadero for hours, waiting for a glimpse of the "elusive torch." But all in vain. Apparently our sneaky, cowardly mayor took the run over to Pine and Van Ness, where print and broadcast media folks were ferried around in a duck-shaped bus.

Classy. Real classy. But whatever, it was a party by Pier 1 where the Free Darfur folks gave out free ice cream, live music played, the Ferry Building shop owners made loads of dough and naked yogis roamed the streets in what they claimed was the true spirit of the Olympics.

Photos galore and perhaps some video to follow. --Janine Kahn
