Voices from the Road

August 25, 2008

So we’re sitting in a gas station in the middle of Kansas waiting for the bank to restore our bank card because they thought someone must have stolen it and gone on a cross-country spending spree. Just another glitch from an otherwise fabulous journey. I am going to write very little since I have precious little battery power. Last night we met Katiebird who is every bit as funny, smart, and great to hang out with as she is here, and more. We ended up chatting until the wee hours, but I managed to get some Katiebird wisdom on film to share with you all. I apologize for the quality, I’m STILL learning how to use youtube…..and my video camera.

Here’s a picture of Katie and me joining the attack of the Pumas:

We also have some great footage from Indigogrrl that Mawm is going to try to post later tonight (I can’t figure out why my editing software keeps cutting it down to 22 seconds @#$@!). Anyway, we’ve met some great PUMAs so far on the way, and we’re still getting looks everywhere we stop. here’s one more from somewhere in Kansas:

Finally, here’s a shot of Mawm and Katiebird from last night. We hope to be in Denver in time for the protest tonight, but whatever happens, we’ll have an update later on! Now I hear we got the card up and running, so we’re off!
