Currently I am sitting on a plastic chair in one of the secret bedrooms in the back of a silkscreening studio. There are comic books and LPs covering the walls, stacks of books in the corner, a pile of old protest posters on the ground, and a bucket that reads: "Pay What You Can (Only If You Can)."
