Since the moment I saw the lineup of speakers for this year's Anarchapulco, there was one speaker that had my interest above all:

Mark Passio.

Today I woke up super excited because the day was finaly here.

We've been pretty lax about the schedule and the talks weve attended since for us, networking and building community is what this conference is all about.

Mark's talk is this evening. We arrived at the hotel about 30 minutes ago and were hanging in the lobby organizing ourselves when I turn around, and who is standing right behind us with his lady who wanted to take a picture of Kieran's shirt.

MARK PASSIO.

I had a moment of ...wtf is this really happening? The person I came here to see more than anyone is asking to take a picture of his lady with my guy? Like what??? Lol I had to ask both Cody and Kieran if it was really him because I mean...wtf lol

I introduced myself and told him that I was having a moment because I've been looking forward to this talk all week and to have him just be right there ...

Man listen...the Universe just gave me such a beautiful little moment...and like every Anarchist/Voluntaryist that I've spoken with here, he was so gracious, humble and human.

We chatted for a bit and him and Carie (sorry if its mispelled) who is equally as warm and genuine and full of light, extended herself to us in a way that for a rare moment in my life, I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be, surrounded by people I am supposed to be with.
