OCCUPY OAKLAND PRIDE DISRUPTION AVERTED

Occupy Oakland showed up just behind the main stage at the 2012 Oakland Pride celebration on Sunday as the mic was passed from recording artist LaMont Wheat who'd just finished a performance of his hit song SKIN which represents Unity, Acceptance and love; to headliner CeCe Peniston who's know for the iconic singles "You Got to Show Me Love" and "Finally".  Occupiers showed up wearing all black with an amplifier and with music glaring.  It was unclear what their intentions where other than to be a disruption to the Pride celebration.

The main stage area was packed with celebrating attendees, on lookers and fans as the mob made their approach.  Local law enforcement kept them at bay, and their presence was made know when they breach a portion of the security fencing  at the back of the stage and law enforcement and security scramble to the penetration area to secure the breach.  CeCe kept right on singing her new single "Celebration" and within minutes the mob moved along and the show continued without issue.

LaMont Wheat and CeCe Peniston gave great performances and rocked the crowd and there is speculation of possible collaboration.  Wheat's "SKIN Project" shortly after the event posted a video of the Billboard dance music diva showing support for the SKIN project in a viral video campaign where she states "This is my SKIN."  New  music by LaMont Wheat and CeCe Peniston is available for download on iTunes and you can stay updated by following them on twitter.
