She has never even been to a protest before, getting thrown into a g8 summit would be a lot/to much.

No, it would be romantic

You've gotta remember that I have PTSD, and immersing myself in these sort of chaotic and high stress environments is unpredictable/risky enough. (sometimes I end up overwhelmed at house parties or shows) I assure you, there would be nothing romantic about the event for us, because I would be way to stressed, not only because of the goings on, but also because I would be worried to death about her safety, since she has no frame of reference for these kind of things.

Nevermind, it was a bit of a joke.

Count me in. I'm getting my happy ass there from Ann Arbor by any means necessary!
I dreamt of a flower that was so beautiful that when it whithered away and died a tear left my eye. I saw our births, our lives and our deaths. I felt fire paint me with pain and I felt a kiss on my lips with a knife in my neck. Love to heartbreak to self-destruction to birth and to finally learning to frolic back into the same trap with a warm smile.

I'm planning to go, but my girlfriend isn't coming, thats what the PTSD thing was in reference to, I trust myself to keep my shit together, but I believe I would loose my cool on her, which is the last thing she would need in that situation.
Plus, I don't think she wants to be in that situation anyways.

Ah, I see. Although I have to admit individual cases of PTSD are different from each other. My PTSD would be different from that of a solder for example based of the triggers.

Well if you can afford the time and money, then this is probably a better time of the year to go to Chi. Haven't been there in the spring, but summer, fall, and winter all suck there... so I'm being optimistic that the city has at least one good season
But if you're on the fence and can't go - I'm sure there'll still be plenty of rad things to do all over the US for the foreseeable future.

Latest Versions of Mayor's Anti-Protester Ordinances on the Eve of the City Council Vote
CHICAGO –Early morning, Jan. 18 —Over the past few days, opponents of Mayor Emanuel's "sit down and shut up" ordinances have faced a moving target. In response to a firestorm of protest, the administration has dropped some of the more widely publicized repressive measures, but has often over-sold, if not directly lied about, the magnitude of its concessions to public pressure.
Case in point: At a City Council committee meeting this morning, the administration made much of its dropping of increased penalties for resisting arrest. Left unsaid, though, was that Chicago's unique interpretation of "resisting" makes many forms of non-violent civil disobedience subject to punishment under the statute. This would be in addition to more conventional charges, like trespassing, that one would be likely to get for such non-violent protest.

Chicago? G8 and NATO?
I just might go. It's only 2 hours from here, but getting a ride might be troublesome.

Bus? commuter rail? hitch hike?
Check with groups in your area that are going. I know there are different organizations and just small groups that are working to get transportation set up.

if you could get to SLC or denver or come visit me in SF first there is the zephyr amtrak line.
I'll check that out. I seriously can't decide if I can make it out.

Oh, shit. You're going to be there, cmoney? I'm messaging you my number on Facebook before I get there. I need to meet your ass.
I'm excited as fuck for the weekend. I'm going to be organizing for two weeks in Chicago before it all starts. This is a really important moment for the left.
