[P2P-F] Eviction of #acampadabcn

Fri May 27 12:53:39 CEST 2011

Sure, no worries, I'm in. What email address do I send stuff to so that I
don't end up spamming people unnecessarily?

I agree with Michel, to me this looks like something big could come out of
it. I'd never dreamt of what is happening when I started "being a pain"
about the need to go out on May 15th in Spain. I was only hoping for a
decent turnout that day. Italy happily obliging within a couple of days and
then Greece and then this #europeanrevolution being organised for Sunday is
a massive surprise. I thought Europe was dead, there might be hope o.O
