1)Thursday, April 11th, Contradictionary Release: The New Book From
Crimethinc.

7pm at Internationalist Books

We are excited to announce a new book from CrimethInc. with this exclusive
release event! CrimethInc. publications have long been among the
best-selling books at the Internationalist; come see what the hype is
about.

Expect an engaging and entertaining presentation.

Whence do Stockholm Syndrome and Broken Window Theory derive their names?
What is the common root of aristocracy and democracy? Who gets diagnosed
with Anarchia and Drapetomania? How did voting kill Edgar Allen Poe, and
why is a crater on the dark side of the moon named for the man who blew up
the Tsar?

Alternately scathing and sublime, CrimethInc.'s Contradictionary pulls
back the curtain from the war within every word, revealing the conflict
behind the façade of the commonplace. In the tradition of Ambrose Bierce's
Devil’s Dictionary, this is no mere miscellany, but a lighthearted work of
serious literature, concentrating a wealth of ideas and history into
aphorisms and anecdotes.

2)Friday, April 12th, March against evictions, rising rents and racist
policies @ Collins Crossing

Meet at Carrboro Town Commons at 3:30

There will be a march of (and in solidarity with) abbey court (now collins
crossing) residents to protest rising rents, thousands of dollars of fees,
and a variety of other changes that are designed to result in the eviction
and displacement of working class folks from those apartments. (Which is
pretty much everyone who lives there...) It will meet up at carrboro town
commons and head to the management office of the complex, which will still
be open.

One example of a lovely new policy by the new management, by the way, is
the banning of pickup trucks, for which at least one resident has already
received an eviction notice.

It goes without saying that, in addition to the racial dynamic of an out
of town company evicting a majority latino apartment complex, this is part
of a continuous process of owners and developers making carrboro more and
more impossible to find housing in for the people who do temp work or
service work of one kind or another. As this includes most of us in some
sense, i hope folks can get riled up about this and take this personally.

This demo is being publicized in conjunction with the Human Rights Center,
the group that works with day laborers and other residents of the complex.
Folks have been passing out handbills, going door to door to talk to
folks, etc. for the past couple of weeks.

3)Sunday, April 14th, Body Heat: Femme Porn Tour

7pm at Internationalist Books

Body Heat: Femme Porn Tour is a national touring collective of fierce
Queer Femme smut/erotic writers, authors, performers, poets, and dancers.
Garnering such praise as “THE best Femme porn writers in the country,” the
tour was founded in 2007 by Kathleen Delaney with the hope of supporting
and promoting Queer Femme visibility and desire through their
contributions to erotica, the sex industry, and the sex-positive movement.
In addition to Kathleen, the Body Heat lineup features authors Kiki
DeLovely and Frances Varian, The Femme Show producer and performer Gigi
Frost, and femme drag performer Al Schlong.
