Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Cotman is a self-described “traditional
storyteller” who has read at venues across the country. His
performances often include music, dance and song. Following a
“do-it-yourself” mentality, he recently completed a 14-city tour by
car through the Midwest, and is currently embarked on the 4-city
“Southern Bard Tour.”

Cotman is the author of The Jack Daniels Sessions EP, a collection of
myth-based stories told from an African-American perspective, many of
them based on America’s dark racial history. The book is available
through Six Gallery Press.

Chris Fox, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, currently lives and works in
Chapel Hill. Fox writes poetry, fiction, and jokes about time travel.
He frequently hosts Late Night Standup at the DSI Comedy Theatre in
Carrboro. He also performs regionally, including venues in Raleigh,
Greensboro, and Boone.

Fox’s poetry has been published in Wavelength and Rosebud, and his
fiction is available in The Bishop’s House Review, Slave, and the News
and Observer.

6. All the Terrible Things We Do to Each Other: An experimental
lecture on friendship

Start: Aug 18 2010 - 7:00pm
End: Aug 18 2010 - 9:00pm

Amidst the collapse of social movements, a certain segment suggests a
return to friendship as the basis of any resistance to capitalism. But
what does this entail and what are its implications for revolutionary
movement? Part dare, part self-indulgence, this lecture will be an
attempt to work through practical and philosophical ideas of
friendship, community, and love in the hope of wringing out something
useful for the contemporary anarchist revolutionary. Allowing for
discussion of what is absent and what is desired, we hope to develop
an understanding of what friendship is and what it can become, its
possibilities and limitations, and the place it could have in wholly
upsetting the order of things.

7. Q&A with philosopher Dr.Robert Paul Wolf

Start: Aug 19 2010 - 7:00pm
End: Aug 19 2010 - 8:00pm

Q&A with philosopher Dr.Robert Paul Wolf on his book In Defense of Anarchism
