hey everyone. thanks for the postings- it seems like a great discussion's brewing. i'm trying to come down to nyc to take part in the remaining sessions of the class, but i haven't been able to find a place to stay among out-of-town new yorker friends. i'm in bos so could make a pretty spontaneous move if anyone has any leads. with gratitude,

john

There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing...Day 3: Site Observation

Exiting the Wall Street subway station, I am caught in the flow of tourists on foot that includes a Boy Scout troop in snake-like formation. Men in suits weave in and out. A young woman with an armful of folders and spiral notebooks clickety-clacks by me. It’s the latter part of rush hour so these are just stragglers heading home or heading out for a Friday night.

Turning onto Exchange Place, I notice a raised barrier in the center of the street; it is a small dark ramp with blinking lights. Passersby walk about paying no attention to the strategically placed obstructions determining their path.

great discussion today! as promised here are a few links about some of the projects we talked about at todays class:

hey, I'm enjoying the discussion. This is probably old hat to some of you but when I mentioned affinity groups in relation to friendship and politics it seemed like not everyone knew what the hell I was talking about. This probably explains it better than I did:

Bonnano and other insurrectionists have written a lot about it. Hope none of you are cops! ;)
