Yes - the article specifically says they didn't want the show this evening: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/12/11/BAET1B2R1N.DTL&tsp=1

I'm visiting town for a couple of days (attending a friend's birthday celebration), and i was going to come up for the concert this evening. But now that's there's been a raid, what's happening?
No matter what, people everywhere support what you're doing including this former Berzerkeleyite. Liberate the university!

about the show: there's no word, but just go to the campus anyway and see what happens. people are already there organizing and doing support for the arrestees, and surely this will continue.

the show is still on! Everyone get over to UCB!
At least one arrestee I inquired about at Santa Rita is being cited and released today. It is likely that more will be cited and released in the same fashion. If you have a car and time, go to Santa Rita to support those arrested and offer a ride back to the bay!

The jail didn't give me a time-frame for release, saying it could be ten minutes from now (3:20) or in several hours. However, if they are able to say that he is being released, it means he is being processed for release, which is typically takes 3-4 hours. I don't know when they started, or if he is the first, so show up now!
