Heavy Security at the KSG's "Patriot Act" Forum
At what seemed to be the last minute, KSG implemmented a high security protocol for last night's "Civil Liberties vs. The Patriot Act" forum, meaning you could only get in with a Harvard ID or specific invite.
I had planned to meet some other people at the event so I waited in the Eliot Street Cafe hoping to intercept them as they tried to enter the KSG. The Cafe, by the way, is a Dunkin Donuts disguised as a trendy coffee shop to make it more palatible to the Cantabridgians.
It was about 5:30 pm and the cafe was filling up fast. Apparently I was not the only one suprised by the KSG lockdown. I shared a "table for two" with a guy that looked familiar. He even sounded familiar but I couldn't place him.
We small talked for a bit. He had been invited to the forum by a Dean at the KSG who he was trying contact by cell phone so he could get an escort past the barrier. He mentioned in passing that he was either "retired" or "between gigs" and that he hadn't quite made up his mind which it was.
A snow storm was closing in on Cambridge and the weather was really starting to get nasty so I decided to head for the T. In leaving, I introduced myself to this guy.
"I'm Mike Walsh" sez I.
"Oh I'm sorry, my name is David Kay" sez he.
"Oh shit" sez I.
