Weird that they aren’t doing anything outside the Bay Area in CA. Seems kind of pointless to do Oakland and SF given how close they are but nowhere else.
I am interested to hear what they have to say and wish their project well but I have heard some troubling things in recent years. I’ve had a hard time finding solid, recent information so if anyone has any, please share.
It is a bit disappointing that they aren’t touring outside of that area. I’m on the East Coast and would love to attend this and I’m sure comrades outside Turtle Island would as well. Although it’s certainly forgivable as travel can get costly. Given that it’s listed as “West Coast Tour” I’m going to hope it goes well and try to remain optimistic that there will be an “East Coast Tour” and more to follow.
I’d also be interested in concrete info about what’s going on there and certainly hope such a project isn’t tainted by some problematic people within it.
Yeah I feel your pain but hopefully there will be one. I just think it’s weird to call it a west coast tour and ignore the largest city on the west coast in favor of Bellingham and Olympia.
I’m not incredibly far from Oakland so I might consider going. If anyone here has questions or wants a report back let me know.
