The floor of the hotel Princess in Acapulco, Mexico from I believe the 17th floor.

Never in my life did I think I would find myself counting down the days to attend a conference.

Back in the days when I was enslaved in a 9-5 in Corporate America, I used to work events. My primary job when working these events was organizing conferences both small-scale and large-scale. The organizing the event had its fun side but I used to always wonder how people could sit there day after day after day listening to people talk. Most people looked like they didn't want to be there.

Larken on stage during his talk. He is one of the people primarily responsible for my path into Anarchism. Watching him speak was fantastic after having watched him on video and having read quite a few of his books. And he's also a really nice guy.

So now that I find myself counting down the days to the next Anarchapulco, I have gained insight into why people congregate in such spaces and participate in events that previously seemed extremely boring to me. I can't wait for the announcement of the speakers for next year. I can't wait to start planning my trip and trying to convince some more of our friends to join us in Acapulco for this life-changing experience.

The amazing Terry Brock and I. Not only do I have a new source of inspiration and wisdom, but he is also a friend. This world needs more people like him.

I forgot his name and feel horrible but this dude was so cool. He was part of the team at Anarchapulco representing Dash and I spoke with him a lot because I kept going to the DASH table trying to get all the schwag I possibly could. So I think on day 3 I walk up and there's this beautiful bracelet on the table that looks handmade and I asked how much they wanted for the bracelet and he takes my wrist and puts it on and tells me that I can just have it.

These lovely ladies had us super boozy giving us Mezcal and beer every single time we walked by. They were so nice. I hope they're working the event again next year.

Balcony views.

These are the kind of people that attend Anarchapulco. Big minds and big hearts.

I can't wait to run into some of the folks that I ran into next year and continue networking and forging bonds that hopefully last a lifetime. I can't wait to go back and visit all of the wonderful locals that we met during our trip, some of which we're still in touch via WhatsApp.

I can't wait to be part of the majority again. A life loving majority that one's freedom for everybody and wants to make the world a better place.

4 days is not long enough.
😙 Hasta la proxima ♡
