Friday Forecast: 52 degrees, mostly clear, NO SHOPPING!

Wondering what to do with your family after you make leftover turkey or 
tofurkey sandwiches? Want to avoid the crazy shopping crowds? Tired of 
the hyped-up holiday hooha?

Why not try Buy Nothing Day!

Join us for a day free of consumer spending at Internationalist Books & 
Community Center.
When: Friday, November 26th, 12-5pm
Where: 405 W. Franklin St., Chapel Hill, NC

What's going on?

Free food and free swap all day!  Block printing workshop -- make your 
own greeting cards! Fun, friends & fellowship!  Possibly Ping-Pong!

Instead of opening your wallet this November 26th, come down to the 
Internationalist and open the mic.  That's right, the first ever annual 
Buy Nothing/Make Something Open Mic Poetry Reading is happening this 
Friday from 2pm till poesy can't pose no more.  So bring your poems, 
bring your friend's poems, bring your enemies' poems, or even bring 
your own poems and call them your friend's poems, but bring it all down 
to the Internationalist for some hooting, hollering fun after 
gobble-gobble day.

What's Buy Nothing Day all about?
Buy Nothing Day is a simple idea with deep implications. It forces us 
to think about the "shop-till-you-drop" imperative and its impact on 
the rest of the world. The Buy Nothing Day movement began thirteen 
years ago in Canada and has since spread around the globe. For a 
complete history of the movement, go to www.adbusters.org. We invite 
you to join us in our celebration of community beyond consumerism!
