well, almost...bags packed...bikes shipped....7 of us are about to pile into a van and head out north to do a little bit of a road show...while there certainly will be some performance the road show is more about doing outreach and education about i-69 and the resistance to it...the tour ends in minneapolis where we'll be attending atleast some of the pReNC convergence...folks getting ready for the republican national convention that will be held in the twin cities next year...nornc.org...check out the welcoming committee's video they seem to really have their shit together...at a recent press conference the welcoming committtee's spokesperson refused to take questions from reporters since no-one emailed their questions in advance as requested, as you must do to ask a question of most politicians/corporate industry reps...w00t for not pandering to a media that actively supresses radical voices...that's a far cry from the press conference we put on about the forest defense actions which was put on for the benefit of only one reporter...hoping we'd get good press...sad to be leaving bloomington it would have been real easy just to stay here, get a job and commit to this campaign, but that's the samething that's kept me in oly for the last 4 years and i still want to indulge my wanderlust...it's hot here and we're sweating profusely as i type this...it'll be good to get back to cooler weather where grey skies means temps in the 60's or below not 90 and crazy humidity...we'll keep ya'll posted as our journey changes course back to the coast, cooler weather, and continued adventure...
