		The crowds had a picnic mentality and all the way to Azadi Square, all efforts at coordinating loud and vigorous sloganeering tended to drown in the drone of a crowd bargaining with the peddlers, chatting among themselves, and greeting friends and acquaintances.

		When we arrived, a certain gentleman who has been nicknamed "The Minister of Slogans" was warming up the crowds, reminding them of the accomplishments of the revolution, inciting the crowd to join in various chants, and the crowd happily obliged- when it wasn't jostling for a position with a better view of the stage.
