TERRY HURST ARRIVING IN SEATTLE THIS WEEKEND, CYCLED FROM SALT LAKE CITY
He's just an ordinary, out-of-shape individual and he left home without a dime in his pocket This week Terry is riding through Olympia and Tacoma on his way to Seattle. He is depending on community members and organizations to meet all of his needs for food, shelter, and cappuccino. He is also asking for five million dollars in donations along the way. Besides being the overweight, amateur cyclist, Terry is a community member with twenty years experience in community building. He has a professional background in writing and film. And he is spreading a message of community action and solidarity. He has made a commitment to ride around the country until he raises five million dollars.

Yesterday (Sunday Aug.9th) my friend Audrey stopped by my house with a story. She told me that police had approached her & told her that she was NO LONGER allowed to sell her artwork at Saterday Market because she didn't have a "permit". Even though she had been selling artwork at Sat.Market for years with NO problems or complaints, all of a sudden cops were taking it upon themselves to enforce this "permit" rule. She said that all the other people selling art/creative works as well as street entertainers were given the same warning for not having permits.
The Portland Office of Transportation (1120 SW 5th Ave 503 823-7002) is the govt. agency which issues permits for street vendors. Audrey said she tried applying for a formal permit long ago. But apparently, the POT does NOT issue permits to sell ARTWORK. They do issue permits to sell flowers & umbrellas... but not artwork. Nonetheless, Sat.Market has welcomed artists to sell their works with or without a permit for years. Only yesterday have the police started issuing warning papers to people for not having permits. Eventhough POT seemingly does not issue permits to sell art, cops were threatening artists that they would confiscate their work & fine them if they did not "comply".

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh MY paraded through the streets of Olympia on Saturday in celebration of earth day. Dressed in bright costumes or carrying batik windsocks, roller skating or dancing to the samba beat, they delighted all who lined the streets along the parade route.
The Procession of the Species is an annual event in Olympia. Volunteers assemble in March to begin working on the event. A studio is available for people to make costumes and create floats. Others plan their dance routines and practice every week for 2 months. It is a joyous celebration of creativity.

In preparation for creative nonviolent actions planned in the next few months, this visionary got out beyond his fears of autonomous self-expression in the city, and played around with a spontaneous set of ideas, all beyond the usual imposed narrated "norms" of everyday settler/"citizen" existence.

Come celebrate the nine year anniversary of the people's victory over the WTO! Understory Productions is showing the DVD version of "A Year In The Streets" at Cozmic Pizza this Sunday, N30, at 7:30 PM. Admission is free.
From the flier: "Celebrate this year's historic election with a flash back to the turbulent year 2000. In a time before the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, people had the courage to take to the streets and demand real change. Watch as Cascadia Media Collective camera crews document a wave of outrage and hope that swept the country, from the N30 1999 WTO meetings in Seattle, to the Democratic National Convention in LA, all the way to Prague and back again to Washington DC for the Bush Inauguration. Along the way, check out a series of local demonstrations about everything from old growth logging and the gravel quarry on River Road to animal rights at the circus and justice for Mumia Abu Jamal. And finally, observe the response of the police, when people actually use their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech and assembly."
