Two Hotheads: Where Activism Happens
Saturday was a hell of a day for radio...
...although more-so for me. The fine folks at Two Hotheads: Where Activism Happens were kind enough to have me on air to "talk the walk" for a bit on Saturday 7/21.

Dear friends, much to my chagrin...
It been a hell of a month...
I've got hands, feet, and 2.5 pounds of grey matter that I am applying to this walkabout conundrum. And a conundrum it is. I've always been one to bite off more than I can chew, and I can say for sure that's the case with this one. My motivation for walking 462 miles remains the same. However the hubris of thinking I could arrange a project including curriculum in such a short period of time is just plain silly.

"Dear Family and Friends and Folks,
I just wanted to let you know that everything is going well here in Boston. "
I just wanted to let you know that everything is going well here in Boston. "
I moved from Eagle Point, OR to Boston, MA on August 27th 2002 (correct me if I'm wrong Mom). My parents co-signed my student loans and off I went, although it's never as simple as that.
"Since I started working here, I've been given opportunities to learn about (and hopefully eventually work with) non-profit organizations that blockade foreclosed homes, rehabilitating disabled/ homeless veterans, and working with inner city children."
International BIO Convention; A Week in Review
One week later: Personal Reflection on the International BIO Convention protests.

| Another World is Popsicle |
Seven days after receiving the flyer for the NOFA BIO convention protest; I'm sunburned, tired and little sad, but hopeful.
Free School University put me on the International BIO Convention tip after working with them on the rundown on the arrest of State Rep. Liz Malia and several protesters. The arrests occurred at the City Live/ Vida Urbana Eviction Blockade last week. I had no reservations about hitting up the Common last Saturday to discuss last minute media campaign strategy with Ellen Fine of the LEAH Collective, Eden Gardner of Free School University/ Occupy Boston, a Selectman, and a smattering of folks that weren't at the March Against Austerity.
