Oct. 21st, 2011 06:01 pmMan, I have been a bad chronicler. I have been back to OccupyBoston twice since I last wrote. The first time was last Thursday, when I went down after work to check out the union rally before the labor march. I could not hear too much of the speeches, though. I volunteered to pedal the bicycle-powered generator in the media tent for a while, which was pretty cool, and talked to some of the guys who were working the media tent.
On Saturday, Dad and Melissa came to visit, and we stopped by when we went down to the waterfront after lunch. The camp had gotten significantly bigger since Thursday, and had reorganized--the People's Library was now its own proper tent library instead of a pile of books in one of the campers' tents; the media tent had moved; the bicycle generator was in its own little opensided tentlet so that people could see how awesome it is and volunteer to pedal. I also ran into
tinuviel8994, who helped lead a sing-along of "This Land is Your Land" with some guy who seemed to also be a Harvard student.
I will be going back on Saturday because Noam Chomsky is speaking at what has been dubbed "Free School University's Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture Series," so that should be awesome. I will try to blog with something resembling detail when that happens.
