Its green in Seattle

Last nights meeting at the university attracted about 30 people despite the warm evening. I’ve met around half a dozen people here I’d only previously know via email addresses.

I ran out of voice last night after about 20 minutes worth of questions, I blame the late night and beer drinking of the night before when we wandered around some pubs around the fishing docks.

In Seattle I interviewed Rogue across a range of topics that included the legend of seattle, gentrification and public housing, prison abolition, left bank books, hoping freight trains, homeless at 15, punk v nazi fights in North carolina, IWW struggle to unionize Austin co-op, Class Action Alliance and Environmental activism, ACT-UP and condoms in prisons.
