Nice to see so much independent coverage

It's awesome to see so much independent coverage of the event. Even though I am a little mentally traumatized by the events, I am glad I was there with my camera to document the goings on.

Nice Sarah

The drupal book/collection feature is so helpful.

Thanks, Sarah

Sarah, I just discovered this nice archive you've compiled -- of material related to the 2007 Olympia port protests. Thanks for putting it together.

May I suggest another link? I wrote an article for the Works In Progress website (which was also published on the Counterpunch and Z sites). The piece gives a general overview of what happened. Alongside the article on the WIP website are 33 photos, and at the end is a long list of video links. There is also a link to the Olympian editorial and Phan Nguyen's response.

Here's the link to my article: http://www.olywip.org/site/page/article/2007/12/01.html

Thanks, again!

My mistake ...

OK, Now that I have more thoroughly perused these links I see that they are all links to items previously posted on Olyblog -- which my article was not.

Never mind.

This works fine

Link to your article works just fine here, now part of the book! Thanks for kind words too.
