hey ben!
Well, I will go to London at the end of august (29th) ...
my grammar is worse I'm sorry...
Ich hab schon sehr, sehr lange kein richtiges english(von wo auch immer das kommen mag;) mehr gehört, geschweige denn gesprochen...
I have to say, that I'm a little bit nervous about leaving and stuff, because of my boyfriend..You know, I really hate those "Hyperemotional" situations, if you know, what I mean?!
Maybe we can meet each other before I'm leaving, maybe in Leipzsch or Berlin? Just call or mail me...

Have a nice day and weekend!
Josi

Hey there! I've been considering deleting my MySpace account, since I spend much more [semi-productive] time on facebook anyway, but since I still have an account I thought I'd add my YDS peeps. ;)

I'm not in Austin permanently yet, but soon... I hope I get a job organizing with Seth and Katie for TSEU. I have a plan B and C (a few non-profits I could and would be happy to work for in Austin) but you know that organizing is where my passion lies. At any rate, I'll be helping with YDS stuff there, regardless of my day job. How are things with you? we haven't really talked since the conference. When do you head back to the States for good?

Ben! I got your email a few days ago. Good to hear from you.

I am VERY disappointed that I will not be able to attend the YDS Conference this year. The last two have been quite inspiring and I really would like to see Chomsky this time, but I can't -- I will be in Louisville, KY recording an album with some friends. We've been planning this for over a year now and I am excited about it. Be sure to let me know how the conference goes!

Let's definitely talk more about politics, art, life, etc. I'm curious about this NYC cultural commission.

Hope all is well.

Peace,
Ken
