DISCLAIMER:

This zine is not like Stupid Journey Number One

- The first one covered four months - this one covers eleven days.
- The first one was fucking huge - this one is even bigger!
- The first one was heavy on the layout - this one is words and more words.
- The first one had a cassette tape - this one doesn't.
- The first one happened in Canada - this one happens mostly in the U. S. of A.
- The first one was written in two days - this one took two weeks.
- The first one was episodic - this one is (marginally) more coherent.
- The first one was 'personal' first and foremost - this one leans toward the 'political.'
- The first one I was alone - this one I was part of a huge group.
- The first one was written six months after the fact - this one was written five months after the fact.
- The first one was a big hit - this one is the exploitative sequel.
- The first one had the benefit of a huge diary that ensured factual accuracy, not that anyone could prove otherwise - this one is written largely from memory, and I will get in trouble for fudging some of the details that countless journalists and activists have already carved in stone.
- The first one documeted events that were still at the front of my consciousness - this one comes after a summer of related and steadily intensifying events, which I have documented on video (qv. "38 Short Films About the OAS" and "VideoActive #2"), and feels like a very long time ago.
- The first one I knew exactly why I was writing. This one I'm struggling with.
- This one is cheaper.

I hope it's all right.
