Getting active

Went to the envir­on­ment protest in town after all. Late, but very worth it. I missed the actual march, but got a fair bit of the rally, and best of all Cat Empire played! So I got to boogie down with morgan303 and watch her dance circles around patch­workkid while he prac­ticed dis­play­ing stud­ied indif­fer­ence. He failed peri­od­ic­ally, a grin light­ing up his face. Guess it’s hard to main­tain stoic when there’s a sexy woman trying to swing you into a jig. 

Then caught up with Nat and steam­punk for chai.

Check out morgan303’s journal for Latham and Howard’s num­bers to ring and demand Fed­eral inter­ven­tion to stop the log­ging of Tas­mani­a’s old-growth forests.

So, people who want to come to the Fourth World War tomor­row night:
