		<title>Off the Deep End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[I wrote this early in the summer. It's been chopped down quite a bit since then, but that is more so I don't pretend I'm an article. That said I still think this particular polemic has value and I hope you'll read it in the spirit of a proposal for the future of our species.]
I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Punctured.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[*BANG*
Suddenly my big stupid grin is a mask of horror. On the plus side it solves a particular problem I&#8217;ve been trying to deal with, namely how to describe having a good time in a way that is interesting. It solves it because now I am having a very very very bad time. The loud [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Class Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An email excerpt:
Jackie: Lots of successful campaigns (most, I&#8217;d venture to say) were preceded by many failures or only partial successes. Also, how are we defining these? Do we get active members from them? Do we build up an organizer? Do we learn some good tactics? Do we raise class consciousness? All are valid as [...]]]></description>

		<title>So You&#8217;ve Decided To Become An Insurgent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I almost got run over by a car.

I&#8217;m in a morning information picket at a suburb campus of the Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona. The day started rather early at 0540, but it sounds like I got more sleep than most of the other picketers. Things start off a bit late, and there is some [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Proper Day In Barcelona</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Start of the week, I get my stuff together and ride my bike to the train station and take the train into Barcelona. Today is determined bike riding day. When I get to Passeig de Gracia station in Barcelona I start biking north.

And bike straight into a hill. See my objective is Parc Guinardo which [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Rather Pleasant Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The train ride from Zaragoza to Barcelona is surprisingly eventful. As I&#8217;m racing to the elevator to get my bike on the train (having timed things closely yet again), I run into another fellow with a bike and panniers. I go down first and get my bike on board and then help him get his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spain&#8217;s Almost Desert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Storm clouds over Madrid make me glad I&#8217;m wearing my biking rain pants. The train ride is pretty, but its clear that the weather report on the region was accurate. 

But when I get to Zaragoza it is a beautiful day! No couchsurfers have gotten back to me so I head to the hostal I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art and Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Tuesday is museum day in Madrid. Except Reina Sofia is closed on Tuesdays. That&#8217;s ok, because Laura and I head on over to the Prado. Prado is all very old classical pieces and I&#8217;m not really sure what to look for and my feet are quickly becoming tired, but when we hit Goya and some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clumsy Hick In Big City Wants Wicked Gypsy Punk Band</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have now been in Madrid for three good days, but my visit to Madrid begins with broken dreams. I&#8217;m convinced I can make it to my hostel in time to shower, maybe change, and then&#8230; GOGOL BORDELLO. In fact, based on Ticketmaster, THERE ARE STILL TICKETS AVAILABLE. This craziness makes me giddy.

But I fuck [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pais Vasco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why visit Guernica? Based on the maps, its just another town in between the big cities. Few people remember their high school war history, and even if they did the Spanish &#8216;Civil&#8217; War is really only a footnote. In fact, the primary reason the Spanish Revolution is discussed at all is because the fascists bombed [...]]]></description>
