Last leg

Greetings from Boston--specifically from the public terminal at the Lucy Parsons Center, the local anarchist bookstore/infoshop. If you're not familiar, it's worth a trip if you're ever up this way.

We're almost done. Providence tonight, then NYC and Connecticut, then a couple days off, then Philly, Baltimore, and DC (currently in limbo...if you know of a show we can be added to, let me know). Burlington and Boston shows were really cool (Boston in particular, much better than I would have expected) with a worthless show in Albany thrown in between. After Connecticut, I'll be coming back up to Mass for a friend's wedding and then rejoining the crew in Philly. Meanwhile, they'll be returning the van, which is in pretty excellent shape, all things considered. We'll be doing the last couple days in a car, which is no big deal. On the 21st and 22nd, we'll be recording for a short LP in Richmond, and then I'll be back in the District for good.

D.C. Police Chief Declares Crime Emergency

- - - - - - - - - - - -

July 11,2006 | WASHINGTON -- The District of Columbia police chief declared a crime emergency Tuesday in response to a string of violence that included the killing of British activist and political volunteer Alan Senitt.

Senitt's death was one of 13 homicides this month, police said. In the past 30 days, robberies have increased 14 percent and assaults with deadly weapons jumped 18 percent.

The move allows commanders more flexibility to adjust officers' schedules and reassign them to high-crime areas. Senitt was found with his throat slit early Sunday.

"We have seen a troubling increase in crime in recent weeks, even with the hard work and best efforts of our officers," Chief Charles H. Ramsey said in a statement.
