Anybody have any livestream for the General Strike going on?

I checked CNN and they have that iReports thing on this but nothing has been submitted/posted for today, May Day.

MSNBC has this picture up on their main page


with a link to this story-
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/01/11485652-protesters-hit-the-streets-for-may-day-rallies?lite

But not finding much else...


Also, I didn't know Occupy had a PR team LOL

“We’ve got hundreds of people out already and I know a lot of people are going to be trickling in as the day goes along. We’ve had pickets at the Bank of America, Chase, Disney,” Mark Bray of the Occupy Wall Street PR team said as protesters chanted "We are the 99 percent" in the background."
