Could you explain what is this attack thing?

What's with the Miguel vs. Blue-Shirt shots? What was happening there?

I was there. Miguel was being a total ass. We were taking a group picture and he walked up and inserted himself and wouldn't leave. So several folks helped him... :D

The context is a group photo. Miguel was passing by and asked what was going on. He was told that it was a group photo and then good naturedly jumped in the front. He was asked if he belonged in the group (of course we all knew he didn't) and then was asked to leave. There was no physical attack, no raised voices, and as you can see in shot 5 we were all laughing about it. Miguel stood around and watched us have our pictures taken and then handed out flyers for the Mono event. If there had been an "attack" I think security would have removed him from the area and he wouldn't have been around to hand out anything at the end of the picture session. I just think it is a case of a bunch of pictures being mis-interpreted out of context. I am in the lower left corner of shot 6. I saw a guy taking photos to my left and down the stairs. It looks like that would be the photographer who took these shots (although I don't know if he is zbowling or not) and he should have been close enough to hear what was going on. I hope that he will chime in with what he saw and heard rather than leaving the mistaken impression that Miguel was attacked.

Wasn't me that took them. I just found them after hearing something happened. Someone said they blogged it with photos but all I could find was the photos on google cache so I snatched them before they disapeared for good.

I was the person next to him and there was no attack what so ever. Miguel in a good natured way tried to crash the picture but was asked to leave.

I doubt Miguel would characterize the experience as an attack - in fact I met him again on Friday and we both had a laugh about it.

But there was no attack of any kind.
