Quentin comes over carrying an unwieldy, hand-written protest sign. Occupy SF has been shutting down the financial district since the early morning, and Quentin has been down there all day, celebrating his birthday with some free speech and outrage.

I know a lot of people will be having a much worse September 11th than me, but I'd still like to reclaim this day from the terrorists.
