The CrimethInc. convergence is in Pittsburgh this year, and beginning the same day as DirtTime (July 20th), so I may go to Echoes in Time in L.A. in August, after a visit to Pennsylvania.

Okay, I erred. My post should have read:

Dunno why I forgot this earlier,
In The Wake
Aric McBay who started/runs this has a 'proper' published book available now, and has co-authored the new What We Leave Behind with Derrick Jensen.

in the wake was pretty sweet, but its now defunct. no more updates. and i didnt think the book of it (tools for gridcrash) was that awesome.

have you read what we leave behind? is it worth reading to someone whose read most other DJ stuff?

Yeah, I'm on that book now, I'm appreciating it.
Especially because he promotes shitting outside, which validates a notion I had years ago and was ostracized for.
What did you think of As the World Burns? A simplified version of the Endgame set?

I completly agree with you guys about the whole, its fucked up how so many people suppost this, but they still live inside the normal system. I mean, i cant say i live out in the woods or anything, but i think its sort of a shame! we are all so conditioned these days! I am sure tons of people want to live like that, but there is some 'invisible border' thats stops them/us.

Have you read A Language Older Than Words, by Derrick Jensen?
I'm currently reading it, so far it's decent.

I'm considering going to Firefly.
