If anyone has spoken with Matt Artz or anyone at the Oakland Trib, could you let me know? 

As part of his due diligence as a reporter, he is contacting all sorts of bureaucrats downtown at the City about our permit situation and as a result I am getting avalanches of emails from the City, there is confusions all around generally and so I would like to speak with him if at all possible. 

It's not his fault - I know he's just doing his reporter thing - but because of inquiries I will now need someone totally reliable I can email who can and printout a very large stack of paperwork and bring it downtown to 250 on Friday 12/26 (tomorrow). If there are any volunteers who are in town?

Happy Xmas!
