You Won't Be Watching Prop. 8 Trial on YouTube -- So Why Not Just Show Up at the Courthouse?

Trial attendees have reported to SF Weekly that, with the exception of the packed house on day one, everyone who has shown up has gotten in. You don't even have to get there at the crack of dawn; getting into the Prop. 8 trial is easier than waiting in line for a cheap laptop at Best Buy on Black Friday.

"Yeah, there are enough open seats," reported one colleague attending the trial. "And the overflow room is awesome."

Supervisor Bevan Dufty reported that his buddy Mike Colby, in town from Boston, walked up to the trial at 8:30 or 9 a.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and was seated both times.

"I thought it'd be a zoo to try to get in," said Dufty. "But maybe now I'll go take a gander a little bit. Apparently, this is a San Francisco secret."
