1) SUNDAY: VEGAN CHILI COOK-OFF!

Join us on November 1st for what may be Carrboro's first ever all  
vegan chili cook-off! This event will be held at Johnny's which is  
located at 901 W. Main St. in Carrboro. YOU decide which chili is the  
best. Tasting will be 4:00-6:00 p.m. and the winners announced soon  
afterward. Enjoy entertainment from our local radical puppet troupe,  
the Mysterious Rabbit Puppet Army  
(http://www.youtube.com/user/puppetarmy), and live music from Gambling  
the Muse (http://www.myspace.com/gamblingthemuse). A suggested  
donation of $5 per person will go to benefit The Internationalist. The  
main area at Johnny's is outdoors, and the event will be held rain or  
shine.

Think you've got the best vegan chili recipe in town? There's still  
time to enter, just come by The Internationalist to fill out a form or  
email Jason: lout77 AT yahoo.com


2) 2010 SLINGSHOT ORGANIZERS HAVE ARRIVED!

One of our yearly favorites, the Slingshot Organizer, has just arrived  
in its 2010 edition!  The all-volunteer Slingshot Collective, based  
out of Berkeley, CA, publishes a quarterly, independent, radical  
newspaper in the East Bay since 1988.  They also publish the annual  
Slingshot Organizer radical calendar planner, 176 pages featuring  
radical dates for every day of the year, space to write your phone  
numbers, a contact list of radical groups around the globe, menstrual  
calendar, info on police repression, extra note pages, plus much more.  
  It's available in two sizes, pocket (4.25 inches X 5.5 inches -  
great radical stocking stuffer!) and spiral-bound (5.5 inches X 8.5  
inches), in 22 different colors - come soon to get first dibs on your  
favorite!  Pick up a Slingshot Organizer and keep up with radical  
history while you're keeping up with your radical present.


3) NEW DIRT CHEAP FICTION SECTIONS!

We've got a whole slew of new arrivals on the shelves, and to  
accommodate them, we've got a brand new section of DIRT CHEAP FICTION!  
  There's an entire shelf of used novels available for just $1.99  
each, and another shelf for just $2.99 per title.  Some of the authors  
on the bargain shelves include Tom Wolfe, Muriel Spark, Rebecca Wells,  
Nicholas Evans, Richard Wright, Virginia Woolf, and dozens more; we've  
also got classics, from Homer to Shakespeare to Solzhenitsyn. Even in  
the midst of an economic crisis, we want you to keep reading - so  
swing by the store and pick up some cheap books for autumn reading!



ONGOING EVENTS:

INTERNATIONALIST PRISON BOOKS COLLECTIVE
The Internationalist sponsors a program that sends free books and  
literature to people incarcerated in Mississippi and Alabama.  Since  
2006 the Books to Prisoners collective has mailed educational  
materials to thousands of prisoners, building solidarity with networks  
of activists inside and out of prison agitating for justice and  
alternatives to the prison system, while meeting a direct and urgent  
need.  There are many ways to get involved:

-Come fill requests at the weekly book-wrapping, which takes place  
every Sunday from 1-4 PM at 218 N. Graham St. in Chapel Hill.

-DONATE books by dropping them off at the Internationalist!  
Particularly in demand are dictionaries, thesauruses, African-American  
history, culture, and fiction, self-help, Spanish language,  
GED/education, and more (paperbacks only).
