Are you going to the GA in Chicago then? There's a chance I might go to that but it's not looking too likely... I start school the tuesday afterwards and can't imagine I won't be half-insane by then. I think my branch my send a couple of other folks.

Ftony, looks like I'll be going to GA too. I'll probably be driving down with a car full of wobblies and plan on spending a couple days before and after in Chicago. You should pencil in a visit to Waldheim cemetery with us, check out Emma Goldman's grave, the monument to the Haymarket Martyrs etc.

Gwen, I really hope you can make it and it would be great to have more Canadians at these, any idea if Toronto wobs are gonna make it out?

Have an awesome time Ftony .. it is rubbish you being away from the UK for so long but whatevs - it is not as if you turn up much for the London socials anyways wink

Ha i know what the unforeseen shit is and it is pretty er...unforeseen but don't worry i won't tell..pretty interesting tho.. tongue

I hope you get to meet up with RevRug at some point - that would def. be one of the highlights of visiting the USA for me. cool

Indeed traveling in from the outskirts can be time consuming.

I must say the "invasion" wasn't a very well armed invasion. You couldn't even get that waiter to give you a beer without ID.
