It's an exciting time right now. Our Food not Bombs comrades just hit the mother load by managing to snag a huge amount of daily donations from the local Whole Foods that just opened up. I know, they're no friends to the Wobblies; but at least they can be a friend to the hungry.

And the Hartford Indymedia Center is in the formative stages of a really good way to bring in some much-needed funds by basically become an ad agency for local non-profits. There's a huge amount to work out, but it's already all in the works. Very promising.

And on top of that, the infoshop (http://behindtherocksinfoshop.8m.net) is, hopefully, getting ready to explode. We're looking to start doing several workshops each week, dealing with organizing and action models (including workplace organizing with local Wobs). And we'll also be further utilizing our considerable copying resources by offering our services to other local groups in exchange for small donations.

Aside from that, last weekend we had our resolution for a week of direct action against the war voted down by a margin of 2 to 1 at the "big" Connecticut anti-war conference. Regardless, we're going to be pursuing the effort, and probably plugging into what the DC Anti-War Network (DAWN) will be doing. Things are looking promising, and we're having a meeting this sunday to discuss things further with other comrades, including the Hartford Catholic Worker.

Diggin in for the long haul...
