Football MAD Argentina

From workers rights issues in the US to todays protest in Paris, I am amazed at what is considered right and good in this fair land below Brazil.

Suitcase on Wheels: Documentary rolling into town

So,

I´ve offically ¨couch surfed¨, (see www.couchsurfing.com) last night a few good things happened. One thing was that I slept in a bed, which is a change (from a couch) and another piece of info is that I am going to interview / be interviewed (for) a couchsurfing documentary fella. I wonder if I can get my friend annabell to help out, she recently filmed a documentary short for Charly Garcia, or just ¨charley¨ as he is known abroad, a Latin Zappesque celebrity who once jumped out of a nine story building into a pool, becaase ¨he just felt like it.¨ That my friends, is a rock star.

Thanks for adding me to your sites. Suitcase on wheels.

"500,000 March is unbelievable"

Believe it. The USA is supposed to be a metling pot, not a tossed salad of people "not really" mixing within their own communities dontcha' think? (read more about the largest March in Los Angeles history here at the LA Times.) ARTICLE 2

I find it surprising that local la police forces had no idea the march would be so big, "to serve and protect" the key word serve Authorities seem very reactionary to me in my multiple experiences with them and my view of them in the media. and there is cops...

I have this friend who tricked me once whilst in a traffic jam, he said, "man i guess all this traffic is becuase they are filming "cops" in town." " i exclaimed,"oh really!" "no." was his answer. ha ha, try it on friends of your own sometime.

In any case, take a moment to think about civil rights today, state powers, political behavior, and v for vendetta if you have the time.

PODCAST: Oh yes, i have been dealing with broken computers and uploading issues for both From the Director chairs podcast and ipodtraveller.net. Thanks for the fan mail too. Enjoy these background blues...

THIS IS FROM A FOUNDER OF www.COUCHSURFING.COM

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the heads up on this. We listened to the broadcast. Wow, thanks for the kind words about CS!

Yeah, we'd love to be interviewed. I guess I'd have to come down to Argentina, huh? Sounds like a good enough reason to me.

On a side note, there's actually a guy going to Argentina who's probably making a documentary about CS. His username is HSDOC, real name is Barry Floch. I'm sure he's love to get together with you and pick your brain. Contact him if you have the time.

Thanks Ryan,
--Casey
