According to several revelers, two separate groups converged from the east and west sides of Broadway and just took over the intersection at Broadway and Pike.

Neighbours has moved their speakers out on to the roof, there's a red SUV circling the block booming Baby Got Back and there are hundreds of people dancing in the street.

People are walking up and thanking the cops surrounding the perimeter—police have blocked off Pike between Harvard and 10th—for letting the party continue.

One officer described the scene as "a big hug fest" and said no arrests had been made. Police also say there's another group marching up 10th on the north side of the hill.
