Critical Mass! No bikes for myself, Anthony, or Ari. :( Sadness. Nummy Tokyo Joe's though, countless dry humping sessions, and punk rock vs. anti-punk boxing matches!

...But Arianne still managed to bone sixteen million spirited, bearded, activist bikers anyway...in her miiiind.

We wanna go to St. Paul next week!

P.S.
Police man:   "I bet you wanna kill a po-po, don't ya?"
Laura:   "I...I...I need to drink this water here real quick..."
Police man:   "Hey, it's okay. I'm from Chicago!"
Laura/Ari/AJ:   *Endless chuckles and relief*



 

All of this is fairly accurate as to what went down yesterday, only the perspective in which this film was shot is from the outside of the main riot looking in. My self and Anthony were detained inside that mass, blockaded by riot cops for about an hour to two hours. I believe anywhere from 6-12 people were arrested in that mass alone during that time. To pass the time by and to make our causes known, people chanted such things as, "Who are you protecting?", "This is what a police state looks like", and joined together in singing "All You Need Is Love" and "Give Peace A Chance" by the Beatles.

I myself chose to bring along my art/painting supplies because my initial plan was to meet up with Arianne and demonstrate our views through art. So, whilst peacefully protesting in the mass, I sat down and invited people to start painting with me. To me at least, that was the most inspiring moment of this week so far, and I can't help but get a tad emotional when thinking back.

Thank you so much for that awesome footage, Forrest! It was so great to see you again, bud. <33

My memory, as most of you know, scatters like marbles on a slippery tile floor. I'll do my best to regain and organize today's events...

-Anthony got pushed over by a cop upon simply exiting a port-o-pottie.
-I attempted to give a riot cop a flower and he blew up in my face all defensive-like.
-When they wanted us to 'disperse' they fuckin trapped us in the middle of a block because they're fucking retards.
-When dispersing commenced in a more understandable fashion, the captain--Captain Black, to be exact, (totally made-up name. haha) got on a speaker and announced the time as such: "Attention, you are to disperse headed southbound on 17th. The current time is *slight pause* 4:20 pm..."

Everyone went fucking nuts. 


Aaaaaaaand that's all I can round up for now, folks. See ya tomorrow. Bring some fucking good running shoes!

Croc Dundee was plain-out inappropriate, brah.
