#25 Make beer-bottle-cap magnets

Last night, I felt like I needed to do something constructive. I've been planning to do this since college, since I started drinking beer. I somehow just never got around to it. I bought a hot glue gun this January though, and last night, I used it for the first time.

I think I was motivated by the fact that my friend Jen's birthday is coming up, and as long as I've been planning to make these, I've been planning to make a set for her. I'll mail it today or tomorrow.

#68 Participate in a Guerilla Street Protest

This was sort of unplanned, but I think the march I joined was unplanned as well.

Monday night, there was a May Day community picnic, and I stopped by, then left, and prepared to go home. As I was trying to drive home, I was stopped by a spontaneous street march for immigrant rights that had emerged out of the picnic. When I left ten minutes earlier, everyone was talking about squaredancing, but I guess they changed their minds. So I parked and joined in. We spent over an hour marching in the street on the main street through town clapping, chanting "si ce puede," as the police tried to direct traffic away from our permit-less parade.
