Attending a soccer match of some sort, at some sort of World Expo-like event.
There was a very high-altitude tram that ran from one side of the expo site to the other, like a thousand feet high, and I thought about taking Liana up for a ride on it.
But 4chan/Anonymous idiots decided to make some sort of statement about "security theater" by dressing up fake suicide-bombers to run out onto the field or into the crowd, solely to provoke panic. The crowd wasn't buying it. It felt like this was something that had been going on for a while and everyone had gotten used to ignoring them. Then one of them rolled a medicine-ball-sized fake bomb (of the old-timey kind you see in cartoons) across the field. We knew it wouldn't explode, it was just a prop, but it was very large and heavy and it smashed into the bleachers, seriously injuring a guy. Then everyone was freaked out and pissed.

For consideration: likely fallout from the 4chanymous attacks on Visa/MC/PayPal/etc.
