Anarchist Writers

The New York meeting, attended by over 40 people was at the Muste building in the old garment district. The meeting was to take place in Bluestocking but the owner had cancelled the booking shortly before the meeting requiring the change of venue.

The building is used for office space by probably a dozen different radical organisations including the (anarchist) WSA and War Resistors League. The meeting room is used as an office during the day and is not that big so it filled up pretty fast. I met quite a few people for the first time that I had previously only known through email.

Afterwards we headed off in the falling snow looking for a bar. Being a Friday night finding one with enough room to fit the 15 of us was a bit tricky but in the end we found one where we could crowd around the pool table.
