I'll be seeing Fire Walk With Me on Sunday

We'll join together in an Occupy L.A. action that bridges two issues--home foreclosures and immigration.

If you have any messages for Fire Walk, post them here and I will bring them to him.

Info on the Sunday action:

I count him and other DUers going to Los Angeles actions as my proxies, and that is my home city and I am so rarely there these days. I thank you all.

Also see if he will pass his email along to me so we can keep up trans-occupation communication

It was good to see him. We talked for quite a while, although we took a break to watch Tom Morello & Ben Haper play an acoustic set...hell yeah!!!

Fire is still out there making a difference. He's a good man.

Hey pinboy3niner, hope to see you again soon.

I was on the lake side of MacArthur Park after doing the demonstration/march for Blanca Cardenas. You guys were on the other side, across Wilshire. And I missed my MetroLink train home and had 3 hours to kill before the next (last) train!

But, hey--Margot Paez of InsightOut News filmed my T-shirt for her report on the march, lol! I make my brief appearance at about 3:55 in the clip:

A few of the pics I took after the march when we rallied back at the plaza on Olvera Street:

...great to see you here man! Two reasons for the clip - I dig Iggy Pop. And there's the other reason which I will not speak.

But I love these updates so much, they really make my day.

26. Fire ended up skipping the morning action

We'd planned to meet there, but he said he was just too wiped out from over-extending himself. He has been doing so much that I'm constantly amazed at his energy.

He did go to the later event, the Occupy SoCal Meetup, and met U4ikLefty there (see Post #16, and my photos from the morning action in #17). The three of us have linked up before at Occupy L.A., but this time I ended up on the opposite side of the park from Fire and Lefty.

We'll get together again soon. Occupy L.A. has a ton of stuff going on, often with multiple events in different locations at the same time, so it's only a matter of arranging to be at the same event--which we should be able to do within a week or so. I don't get down there as frequently as Fire, as I'm farther away and the trip from home to an OLA action, door-to-door, is 3 to 3 1/2 hours each way by train and connecting transportation. Still, Fire, Lefty, Zhade and I have managed to all link up together at an action before.

Several group members here are in touch with Fire, and you can expect that one or another of us will be providing updates from time to time.
