Going to NYC tomorrow for 2 days with three of my best friends and my potential new best friend. Anybody want to hang out? Are there any good shows? Vegan food? Down for anything, up for everything.

1) choose15 26 (for each year, i guess-- i changed it) 21 photos from your hard drive (no flickr, no google) that you feel are self-expressive
2) post them without captions -- can be as serious or as silly as you like
3) explain/respond in the comments. (or don't.)
( 21. ps. everybody do this. we all love hard drive candy. )

Open question for all of my international darlings: (specifically Lenny & Gala & Kate, all of whom I know have experience in this area!)
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that someone from the UK is here in the US on one of those 90-day, non-visa visa type dealies (AKA, said person did not apply for a tourist visa and so must leave the country after 90 days). According to the Gubernmints, they MUST leave the country before their 90 days are up. There's no chance of applying for a 6-month I4 or whatever the form is called (a tourist visa lasting 6 months) because you can't change your status off temporary tourist/90-days.
This is very stupid and we are SURE there is a loophole. Even another month-- enough time to apply for worker status, provided said person could find a work sponsor, which would happen in September-- would be amazing.
Aside from blowing off the agreement, risking arrest and being a callous ass about the whole thing, is there ANYTHING THAT A PERSON CAN DO to get their stay extended?

Infinite Relationships:
Relationships without bounds or boundaries, love without limits, without ends.
This is about so-called “non-monogamous relationships,” about some of the benefits of trying out one of the alternatives to the formulaic dating/marriage/divorce model for love. Your response to this article will probably be similar to the one I had a few years ago when I read a discussion of the same subject by David Sandstrom in the Swedish ‘zine Handbook for Revolutionaries: “good idea, but, uh, not relevant to me, of course…” It turned out I was wrong. Had I remembered a lesson I’ve learned over and over, I would have realized that often the ideas that make me the most defensive and uncomfortable at first turn out to be the most important for me in the long run. Not to say that I’m offering a program that you must all immediately adjust yourselves to… but we can’t remind each other enough to be open to new ideas, in case they do prove to be helpful in our lives.
