well, unlike my last vacation, i havent had much time for contemplation and reflection, this trip, unlike the last one...

this one has been almost non-stop work. its amazing to be working in a movement that is teetering on the brink of explosive political gains... this is a true peoples movement that could shut down the entire american infrastructure in days if it wanted, and was organized enough. it is just incredibly humbling to play a role in it.

i met with some incredibly powerful community leaders, and made a film of everything they had to say to their counterparts in chicago... anybody want to help me edit it?  *nudge hbsoul*

Also met yelamma, an ally of the org i met with, who is referred to as the "little sister".  she thinks she knows something about me since i smoke "benson & hedges", but will tell me later.  since later isnt about to happen anytime soon, im dying of curiosity.  im around 97% sure that to her it means that im QUEER as fuck!  I think she is too-  she knows too many people from desi queer groups (or should i say group!) in chi...

anyway, this one has to be cryptic to some of you who have no idea what my organizing job consists of...  i'll post privately later...

im in new york tonight, and im not leaving til sunday afternoon...  looking forward to many, many, many more meetings and hopefully some social time!  if you are in NY as well, get in touch with me and we can get together!
