oh noes -- PDX occupiers of Wells Fargo dressed "like real people" to get in
KATU reports that the occupiers wore suits over their regular clothes and got into the bank dressed like "real people" and once inside, took the suits off!

"And the sign said...long haired freaky people need not apply...."

Right now the crowd is on the move, and the cops are walking with them. Blocking intersections, on the march.

All four Portland channels are covering live.
