You can watch 508 Fridays at 7pm on WCCA TV13.

[0:57] Julius talks about a “Get Your Shine On!” dance party happening 9:30pm-1:45am Friday, June 3 at the Sahara, 143 Highland Street in Worcester.

[3:33] Train.

[4:17] Tornadoes in Massachusetts yesterday.

[6:35] June 4: Celebrate “National Trails Day” by repairing and exploring the trails at God’s Acre.

[7:35] Julius and Mike talk about the previously postponed nazi meeting in Worcester.

[9:24] Mike talks about some sort of melee that occurred at the library when three of them finally met there May 21, and a group of antifascists got rowdy. Some details of this account are confirmed by the partial report visible on the NEWP website. If anyone wants to go on the record about what happened, they are welcome to be on 508.

Update: Worcester Wired got some people who were there on the record. Among other errors that Mike made in his 508 summary, there were 9 or 10 (not 20) attackers, wearing bandannas, not ski masks.

[13:50] There are interesting articles in the InCity Times about the city budget and preventing foreclosures.

[15:42] TIFs and DIFs. What the hell?
