SO I DIDNT BLOG AS MUCH as I thought I would but this keyboard makes it tough. Tonight I will be home and plan to write a little. And I think in the next two days (before I leave for the RNCC) I will have a lot to write on. I have so much in my mind and belly and heart…and on my memory cards and tapes too.
Right now I am in the shuttle on the way to the airport and am rather glad to be out of the hotel. I was the last of our crew to check out and being alone still there felt very silent and odd as the event was so filled with the everpresent noise of my POC-posse’s laughter and spirited dialogues.
Right away I can say only that I have great love for my friends, friends who do not need convincing or explaining or justifying when it comes to understanding what it is like to be a poc and living in this culture and all that this means. And I want to thank las mujeres, mis amigas y mis maestras Kety Esquivel and Maegan la Mala Ortiz for their patience with this vato and his male lens. Also big propz and thanks to mi amigo Kai Chang for being so very very cool. Circle of Sanity rules.
Stay tuned my dear readers. Much more very soon.

Yeah, as stressful as it was for me as a mujer, you guys were an amazing source of strength.
have a good night’s sleep and a happy comatose nap before cranking up the text. Luego.
Maegan no se ve tan mala na! Then again, what the heck do I know!
Have a safe trip home hombre!
Thank you, Nezua, and you too Maegan, for filling my time in Denver with so much laughter and camaraderie and helping to keep it all in perspective! I’m writing this from the Denver airport, getting ready to board my red eye back to NY, after spending the day decompressing in the hills in Boulder. Man did I need that, after three days of jostling through crowds and slamming into surreal scene after surreal scene. Oh and of course thanks to Kety for being such an enthusiastic imbiber and talker! What a night, what a trip. Talk soon amig@s! Peace.
Gracias para los informes!
BTW to all my hermanos y hermanas involved in Latino and other minority voter registration:
The registration deadlines vary from state to state but many allow registration to occur up to two weeks prior to the November election.
Also, remember that by federal law, in any district with a large Latino population (20% or higher), ballots and registration materials must be made available en español!
Por favor asegure que todos los materiales seran disponibles para nuestros votantes!
Gracias and peace out amigos.
