Not sure which category I fit into: graffiti artist, muralist, activist, moderately good looking, etc., but it sure sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be coming with my senic fitches and my chalk line. See ya there!

The event was great. I wrote the article for the CCSU newspaper The Recorder on it, online versions found here or here for anyone that couldn't get it in print. Really, really great work though...
