They are playing in Tucson tomorow night. I think it's going to be kind of crazy in a good way. Besides all the townies and usual number of Travelers, a primitive skills share gathering just ended in the desert by here, and more folks are coming for a radical herbalists' gathering shortly...

The 18th annual San Francisco Anarchist Book Fair

Interesting. Right on. You know, everything's relative. One night I was hanging out in a park with a Traveler Friend in her town and a couple other hoboes and we all realized we were bullied growing up. The Traveler Friend went on to be her high school's home coming queen and went to college...

There was just a week of Idle No More Actions in Flagstaff, Arizona, here's an article about a Round Dance flash mob and a scuffle Saturday: http://www.indigenousaction.org/native-youth-drummers-attacked-by-snowbowl-supporter-at-city-of-flagstaff-ski-event-dew-downtown/

I'm always shocked when I meet a Traveler whose home life wasn't messed up. My family was probably somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of messed upness. They probably couldn't have cared less when I hit The Road and I just slowly but surely lost touch with all of them. I think it's a good...

I think it's all circumstantial. A lot of my Traveling is actually back and forth between places, and sometimes I regret leaving, sometimes I regret not leaving. But a lot of the time, yes, I need to be out of a situation to clear my head out and figure out if it's worth coming back. I look...

It's pretty cold in Northern Arizona right now. I'm in Flagstaff and we just had a pretty big snow storm. It gets pretty cold at night in Southern Arizona, but I myself plan on going to the Tucson area to see folks and get relief from the weather!

Here's a video from an Idle No More action in Flagstaff, Arizona last week: And here's an article about it: http://earthfirstnews.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/idle-no-more-hits-arizona-as-part-of-snowbowl-protest/

Don't you think that's a bit harsh? I think you did answer it really well, for someone new to The Road I think you've sumed it up really well.

Welcome. I'm in Illinois right now, and thinking of going back to Arizona sometime either this or next month via Missouri. Please keep us updated! I'm still trying to figure things out myself.

It looks like the call for submissions I posted here has been lost in the shuffling and re-shuffling that has been going on. http://apoclove.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/punk-house-economics/ For those interested, I've got this template for the start of an interview pasted below. I'd also like...

Since there's been a lot of problems with the forums on here lately, please write me me at alextheweaver at peoplenotprofit dot net so we can work something out so I could possibly come visit you all and teach weaving and hang out.

Hey-I wanted to let you all know I wrote something up about starting a fiber arts co-op/collective: http://squattheplanet.com/threads/forming-a-fiber-arts-co-op-collective.15506/ Pretty much whenever I teach a series of weaving workshops, this is part of my thinking. I'd be interested in...

That's cool. I'll let you know when I've got a better idea of what I'm up to.

I have sort of loose plans to go south, but not very far. Do you have ideas about where and when you want to go? If I go to Memphis, it won't be until January, but I could possibly get you a ride then. If I go to Missouri, I'll be buying a bus ticket, and I'm not sure when. Around when and...

Right on. Starting at least mostly fresh has its pros for sure. I was the only ex-A-Zoner who was very involved with La Biblioteca Popular, the two Infoshops that have been in Chicago in the last ten years. Are there folks who can put up Travelers if I come for a week or two next month?

On Ohlone land, on December 1st of 2012 we will be hosting our first annual East Bay Anarchist Bookfair: Conversations & Books event. We want to talk about big things (like changing the world) and small things (like books). Join Us from 10 am - 8 pm on December 1st at the Humanist Hall for this...

When you all open the doors, you might want to start a new thread under projects. Were any of you all involved with the Radish Infoshop in your town? I sadly only read about after my one stop in Springfield er route to the Missouri Ozarks back in '09. Are there any collective and/or punk...

I used to be anti-choice, but yeah, I found that most people who in the U$ who are pro-"Life" are all for militarization, the death penalty, anti-welfare, etc. etc. etc. so as a group they aren't really pro-life at all, which I was so I checked out. I'm male anyways. It's something I still...

Yeah, I like the psychological theory of the collective unconscious for this reason.

Aha, that's the difference; his was solidly colored, so whenever I drew it, I just drew an anarchy symbol, then another over it upside down for the band we played it. I don't think it really meant anything, I was 16 he was 15 and we had no solid politics. It's just weird to see something very...

Sweet. A total aside, I used to jam with a kid that drew that symbol you're using as a user icon on everything. Where'd you pick it up?

Valhalla. Nice! Please keep us updated!

Please save the date! Sunday February 17th More info soon!

So are you still stuck there? I'm in Joliet right now and might be able to hook you up with a ride east and/or north in the next month or two, or if you have the cash for a bus ticket to Missouri, I loosely plan on going there in the next few months.

Congrat's! My job is seasonal, and I'd like to come teach a series of card weaving workshops sometime this winter. Do you all plan on doing any kind of prisoner support? I would also be down with helping start a prisoner writing group or participate in one if you have one going already.

Heh, I was also never a big fan of Ohio, but had no power over my situation when I was nine and my mother got the bright idea to move to a 95% white suburb of Clevo with her two Brown children... hilarity ensued! I never spent much time in Columbus or the Youngstown area, and never went to...

Hi-I was very involved with the Cleveland, OH Hardcore, metal, and to a certain degree, punk scenes in the mid to late '90s. I checked out and started Traveling in '00 and have been on and off The Road since then. Welcome!

There's an amazing all indigenous epic blackened crust ska band from Arizona called Let The World Die, http://lettheworlddie.bandcamp.com that might be playing all their spin off Towradis, http://towardis.bandcamp.com, material also as Hell Collapse by now. They are a large part of the reason I...

I'm largely out of the loop, but http://diychi.org is one source for info on shows that's still going from last time I was in Chitown. I just wrote the guys from La Armada, http://myspace.com/larmada to see if they're on tour yet, they are the only local(ish, they all moved here from the...

Greetings, I just got to Joliet yesterday, possibly for the winter. I'll hopefully be spending at least some time in Chi, but should be living and working mostly in the west suburbs. It would be cool to meet up.

That's so great to read! Here's a 'zine I did on the Infoshop Movement in Chicago: http://zinelibrary.info/autonomous-zone-infoshop I would recommend going through the Slingshot! Radical Contact List and contacting the groups especially those who run spaces, many of which have websites and...

Welcome! I like hitchhiking for sure also, except when I'm getting messed with by the cops! I feel like a one man picket against capitalism whenever I'm flying a sign or standing out there trying to thumb a ride. Plus I've met some really nice folks, likewise far more good than bad experiences.

Yeah, it was fron page news earlier this week in Tucson, I'm glad it has gone national. People need to know this kind of stuff.

Yeah, there has been a lot of vigilantism on the border here.

In the fall of 2008 I was smitten by a crush I had on a Fellow Traveler I met while WWOOFing on a seed farm in Virginia. One night she was spinning yarn with short fibered, colored cotton we were removing seeds from, with a drop spindle she had made with a potato and a chopstick. Need I write...

There are sometimes Travlers Aid groups that give out cupons for gas money. I found one in Flagstaff on a list of resources for folks in need. California, Arizona and I'm not sure how many more states have 211 where you can call and ask about food, housing, help with Travel expenses, etc...

Tucson, but I've spent more time in Flagstaff lately, it was just getting too cold to be sleeping out at night there!

Dead Heads were the first people to give me the idea, Oh, hey, I can hit The Road too! It's funny, I've been Traveling for years also and still haven't rode the rails. I'm sure it's also just a matter of time. I look forward to reading more from you!

I would write that you're right the overwhelming majority of the time, but the person who wrote the article about Food Not Bombin' in Chitown if I'm not mistaken was a long time member of the A-Zone Collective who was involved with other radical organizing for years afterwards. I don't...
