With the east gate blockade having been in position and running for 36hrs straight, a sound system pitched up to entertain the blockaders as they prepared to spend the second night camped out blocking the road and rail link to Heiligedamm.
end note: you could call this summit protest a tale of two blockades... the east gate where the authorities permitted the protest and secured 'good' media coverage of their tolerance, and the west gate (and others too) where police attacked sit down blockaders with water cannon, pepper spray and batons... not to mention all the hit and run blockades and barricades, robin hood pixie missions and more.
