What I’m Up To
Been a while since I have done an event/project update, so here goes:
The Positive Force (PF) Book Club meets this Thursday night. We are reading Washington’s U Street A Biography by Blair A. Ruble. I’m not near finished so I’ll reserve comment.
The Radical Space in DC has an event this Friday. They are bringing over some occupiers to speak. Their goal is “To unite our radical communities and create a space for discussion so that people within and without the Occupy movement can learn from each other and make our whole community a little better.” sounds like a good goal to me. FB event page is here.
David Rovics is playing at Occupy on Friday night at 7:00 p.m.
Santarchy is back on Saturday. The route is to be announced. No there is no message. Pure inebriated foolishness.
Lots of Occupy events all weekend that are worth going to, but I will likely only be there for Sunday. Particularly interested in the talk on private prisons.
PF is having a half day retreat on January 22nd. If any of you have been dying to get involved. This would be an excellent time. More details to come.
The Radical Book and Spoken Word event has been resurrected. It is looking like May 11 and 12. Hold the date. If you are local and want to help plan, get in touch. If you aren’t local, plan a trip. DC is lovely in May. We will keep you busy, intellectually stimulated, and probably drunk (at least if you hang with me).
