Hoffman, debuting her novel "Fool's Footsteps", a story about a PhD lit
student, Kal, tracing the path of an old diary that has been contributed
to by more than 20 writers over 7 years. Written in first person, Kal's
gender remains ambiguous throughout, raising questions about gender
identity and roles. It's also a story about alienation, and the human
need to connect and understand through storytelling.

REALLY FREE PUNK SHOW AT 9PM! Featuring The Hissy Fits and SiBANNAC once
again! Punk shows have been in great attendance lately, though we would
like to ask all show-goers that they be mindful of store products and
not to mosh directly into shelves, not to bring open containers of
alcohol (especially minors) and to keep all activities (such as chalking
or parking) within the confines of iBooks. ALLRIGHTLESDOTHISS!!

ROAD SHOW!

predicament? Do you feel the crushing imperative to alter the
destructive course of industrial civilization before it's too late?
>
Deep Green Resistance presents A Culture of Resistance Roadshow. The
Roadshow features a program put on by a traveling group of activists
from the environmental and social justice organization Deep Green
Resistance (DGR). DGR recognizes that the current structure of
society--industrial civilization--is fundamentally unsustainable, and
that no degree of small-scale remedial actions will stop the systematic
destruction of the natural world. The Roadshow workshop will cover the
inability of current efforts to truly address the fundamental
contradictions of our modern struggles, and present concrete steps to an
equitable, thriving future. This program is intended as a practical
guide to effective activism, and will leave attendees feeling empowered
to shift the course of history at this most critical juncture. There
will be music, art, and informative presentations that will give
activists the tools they need to make a difference in this struggle.
>
Join us in saying "No more ineffective activism!"
>
> The June 21st
event is actually a Speaker Presentation of about 20 people from The OC
Hope Project who want to share their first-person experiences and take
part in a moderated/audience Q & A. The speakers involved in this are
part of an ongoing initiative to give voice to
marginalized/misrepresented people in our community.
