Blaine was a 7,000+ blast of solidarity; a multicultural
gender-bender-equitable-ecological-encyclopedically [sic] anti-capitalist blast.
Replete with bagpipers, El Salvadorian women, Salish & Nootkans, Telex' from Fidel
[not 1 but 2], unionists from both "sides of the border" who've grown up alot in the
past 18 months, and the Seattle Indymedia staff was all over the place; so that's why
nothing was coming off their site. Oh yeah, the bands, radical cheerleaders and
Raging Granny's were hilarious...
