It's 15   45  72 minutes past my bedtime and The Advoc8te is exhausted so this is going to be brief long.  Including some video clips and photos of tonight's Ward 8 Gentrification meeting. Everyone on the panel was in attendance except for ANC Commissioner Mary Cuthbert. If you missed tonight's roundtable I did live tweet the meeting, including those tweets below. Who knew us "tweetering" gentrifying bloggers were good for something? Just kidding Councilman Barrry, just kidding.  :)

P.S. To the unknown person with the horrendous dragon breath, please don't take this personally but for the sake of nostrils everywhere, please invest in some Altoids. After five minutes I was praying that my sense of smell would be gentrified.
