There's a kind of alchemy we've only experienced in the past few days. Once the fence comes down and the cops don't immediately assault us, it's a whole new kind of calm. Music. Chatting. Smoking. Graffiti. A feeling of chill relaxation impossible when the sacred fence is present

Gonna head North to see what's going on out there. @DonovanFarley and @PDocumentarians are holding it down with the JC coverage!
