I'll definitely be going. Is there some sort of black bloc planned? Or is that supposed to be on the down-low?

a single black bloc would contain several affinity groups. I believe it is to delegate tasks ex. de-arresting
Thats just what I readI could be wrong sorry
I guess contact your local anarchists and see if they are attending the rally though if your an outsider then they would be suspiscious of you asking "wheres the black bloc at", eh?I guess if you know any anarchists personally then you could ask them and try and get in.
Actually you could be a cop right nowwell it's not like I said anything y'all couldn't find in a bookstore or already know
If your looking to get in on one I'd say it's pretty late I mean it's in two weeks...

The NATO summit is still in Chicago, G8 is in Camp David. There will most likely be demonstrations against G8 within Chicago (with some smaller ones in Maryland.
Do you know when and where the protesters will rendezvous?

Damn, I'm a little disappointed. This will be my first protest and I was really excited for some black blocking.a single black bloc would contain several affinity groups. I believe it is to delegate tasks ex. de-arresting

Eh, there's going to be people walking around with most likely lethal munition (federal and National Guard), it might not be the best time to bloc up.
I would suggest playing it on the safe side then. Don't "black up". watch your back and surroundings. Plenty of room for militancy outside of black bloc, which isn't just dressing in black and breaking windows.
Hey, remember that labor march planned for the 18th? Yeah. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,2184773.story
So we can't even walk around dressed like ninjas? I don't even need rioting.

There is a Very High chance of tear gas I'll tell you that.......
Yes, we want to make your wife a radical feminist lesbian, we want to forcibly gay marry you to a leatherclad bear, we want to send your kids into white slavery at the court of a black communist dictator, we want to paint your church red with the blood of christian babies, we want to set fire to your ikea and your SUV, we want to rape your labrador with the broken pieces of your white picketed fence.
We want to wage nuclear war on the nuclear family.
why? because we are pinko freedom hating commienazi atheist bastards, its just what we do.

Aren't all NATO/G8/G20 protests filled with this kind of danger?

It revolves around autonomy so by all means show up- outside of having similar views there's no restrictions or anything the more diverse in action the better. It's just more expected perhaps at a local level that affinity groups will know each other and have unique as well as collaborated actions. Of course as always have legal contacts/friends who know where you are, don't go alone unless you understand the consequences and know your rights ahead of time.

You can do whatever you want. Dressing in black and black block aren't the same. Be for warned that it will make you more identifiable and targeted by the police, especially if they are using "snatch and grab" tactics.So we can't even walk around dressed like ninjas? I don't even need rioting.
And yes all large summit events are dangerous, but also generally diffused and always with a spectrum of danger, based upon a number of factors.
Lots of good advice. Thanks guys.

Not to get too obsessive over this but it can keep you out of a lot of trouble- if you're in the bloc participating in whatever, or even just in the back but still wearing black, you're gonna want to potentially ditch the black clothes so be thinking about how are you gonna do it and what you are gonna be wearing underneath. The cops identify people by their shoes and their back packs too.
