[New-imc] Re: IMC Andorra (project) - 14 march 2002

[Josep Guirao]

Dear Bart,

At this moment, we¹re in Barcelona covering the information against the
European Summit at the opened space Barcelona Indymedia, and we¹re quite
busy here, editing videos and covering news in the streets. The truth is
that right now, we can scarcely call our time our own; I guess just like
you. That¹s the reason why we won¹t be able to contact you until after the
17th, when we¹ll be back in Andorra. Best regards for all of you, and see
you soon :))
