G20
A group of about 3-5 of us are coming from Asheville to Pittsburgh for G20 and looking for a possible place to stay. Squat or otherwise. If you know of a place (or have one) where we could crash for a few days (probably starting on the 20th until the 25th) or at least stash our packs, it would be much appreciated. Some of us are also looking to help out in whatever way we can. Organizing, food, etc. This group is still in the works but will have more details soon. Just trying to organize and get a feel for what to expect. Thanks! Anything helps!

I'm in PDX and am just starting to figure out a way out to Pittsburgh/crash spaces/etc
I ran into a kid last night who's planning on hitching out there and has squat space out there that he told me I'd be able to crash at... Unfortunately, however, I lost his contact info.
In any case... I'm interested in leaving for Pittsburgh anytime in the first 2 weeks of September (due mostly to the fact that I begin couch surfing on the 1st and am not particularly interested in overstaying my welcome on friends' couches)... so... if anybody else in the Pacific NW is going and wants to mob out in some sort of consolidated effort... I'm certainly interested in discussing the possibilities.

check that out. I don't want to go into detail to explaining it all. Or give my opinion right now. I was in london when it went on in April. It got wild, someone died after being assualted by riot cops. Look up Ian Tomlinson. A hemmorage. It was rough. As for convergence spaces, hopefully they set something secure up. Ours got fucking radied the next day everyone in handcuffs and arrested then de-arrested and some detained for further "questioning." The usual. They did this simultaneously at 2 different squat/convergence spaces. Hopefully, they cops don't emualte what they see across the pond.

I'll be headed down from Boston, or coming from central PA, depending. Going by thumb, probably.

The 3 Rives Climate Convergence will be going on that whole week. I'm already in Pittsburgh and am helping to make that happen.
