Saturday, 03 February
REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET
The Really Really Free Market is happening again this Saturday, February 
 3rd, from 1pm-5pm at the Carrboro Town Commons. Everyone is welcome at 
this free event, where all are encouraged to give, receive, and create 
on their own terms. You are invited to arrive between 1:00 and 5:00 pm 
with goods, services, skills, performances, stories, crafts, food, 
games, music, clothing, furniture, plants, and resources to share with 
others in the community. The event is self-organized by everyone who 
participates.Nothing is required for participation, but please think 
creatively about the skills you have and could teach, the useful or 
beautiful things you have and don't need, or the resources you can share 
with people to create something during the event.Really Really Free 
Markets celebrate forms of cooperation and gift-giving that move beyond 
the constraints of capitalist markets. They create open spaces in which 
status is generated by giving rather than owning, and in which giving 
and receiving happen directly rather than being administered through an 
institution or organization.  As at other Really Really Free Markets 
across the U.S. and around the world, we aim to create and participate 
in a world in which resources are held in common, we find in ourselves 
the capacity to meet the needs of others in our community, and "free" 
means just that: really, really free.

ALEXIS ZEIGLER | CULTURE CHANGE: CIVIL LIBERTY, PEAK OIL, AND THE END OF
EMPIRE
What impact will Peak Oil have on the political culture of the U.S.? 
What is the connection between the ecological limits we have already 
reached on the growth of militarism, fundamentalism, and male supremacy?
How can we downscale and localize our economy to reduce our energy and 
resource use?
Alexis Zeigler, author of the new book, Culture Change; Civil Liberty, 
Peak Oil, and the End of Empire will conduct a presentation and 
discussion of these issues.

CARRBOR GREENSPACE COLLECTIVE
Please join the Carrboro Greenspace Collective as we host an open-house 
event Friday, February 9th beginning at 8pm. Coinciding with the monthly 
Carrboro Art Walk, the Greenspace will feature work by local artists 
Isaac Sandlin and Phil Blank. There will also be live music, food and 
drink! The Carrboro Greenspace Collective is currently working to save 
10.5 acres in the heart of downtown Carrboro from development in order 
to turn it into center for Community and Sustainability. This would
include programs like the ReCyclery, and other educational programs and 
events.  Please come and check out the beautiful space that we hope will 
become a key space for cultivating artistic, environmental and social 
community in our area.  The Greenspace is located at 116 Old Pittsboro 
Rd, down the street from the Open Eye Cafe.  For more information 
contact 225.3433 http://grassroots.wikia.com/wiki/Carrboro_Greenspace

ZELDA LOCKHART | COLD RUNNING CREEK
Lockhart, author of Fifth Born, will be here to discuss her latest
novel, Cold Running Creek. It is a lyrical, personal, and profoundly
realistic portrayal of figures of our past whose stories, until now, lay
buried beneath the rubble of slavery and Civil War. Lockhart presents a
novel that is as significant as Alex Haley’s Roots and as sensitive in
the portrayal of its characters as Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were
Watching God.

Thursday, 22 February @ 7pm
INGA MUSCIO | AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BLUE-EYED DEVIL
Infamous author of Cunt, Inga Muscio will be here to discuss her latest
work, which examines the state of history and its flaws. She sets out to
rewrite a history that has been traditionally steeped in misogyny,
racism, imperialism, and classism. In doing so, she calls for a fresh
look at what we consider factual history.
