I always tried to snag an invitation to one of her parties in Austin but never managed to do it. And now she's dead, so it's too late.
Also, I've just this week managed to set up a new organization which I'm probably calling the Civil Liberties Reclamation Project, and which will provide legal assistance to those who are illegally searched by the cops here in Bushwick, publicize these sorts of incidents by way of my weekly column and other means, and otherwise combat unconstitutional behavior on the part of our local police. So far I've got a lawyer and a guy who works for Drug Policy Alliance over in Manhattan and who's worked for the ACLU on drug law reform and that sort of thing, both of whom have volunteered their time and expertise, so we're off to a good start.
