Red & Black Cafe - April Communique, RIOT FOLK CD RELEASE SHOW

I love the Red and Black cafe. They hosted an event free for the Radical Road Trip last year. Plus RIOT FOLK CD RELEASE SHOW is 4.16 and they always support the Freeschool in Olympia. I am cofounder of the Radical feminist Distro for music made by Brenna of Riotfolk. Please support them all.

Love for the people,

Red & Black Cafe - April Communique Greetings, Comrades! This is the fourth intentional communication from the Booking Committee at the Red and Black Café!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Red and Black Café Communique 3/31/09 Greetings, Comrades! This is the fourth intentional communication from the Booking Committee at the Red and Black Café! After a long, hectic March full of schizophrenic weather, we approach April with some weariness. There are still some fantastic things happening, though, so please check out the full list of events and come out! All events stat at 7pm unless otherwise noted. CASCADIA RISING TIDE PRESENTATION // 4.05 Cascadia Rising Tide has an event at the café on the first Sunday of every month. It is typically a film screening, but it can also be another kind of presentation, reportback on a conference, or something else related to the issue of climate change and ways to fight it. Come on down! ANTI-IMPERIALIST FILM SCREENING // 4.07 The Anti-Imperialists have their film screening the first Tuesday of every month. Films are followed by a facilitated discussion. Come check them out! THE RED AND BLACK CLOSED ALL DAY // 4.08 Okay, so this isn't exactly an event. But it's worth noting that the café will be closed on April 8th for a staff meeting and cleaning day. Sorry. We'll put out some free coffee for you. GRETNA GREEN, CAMPING PARTY, TONIGHT WE LAUNCH // 4.11 This is going to be a great music show. Gretna Green is on tour from Canada and can use the support! Please bring some money to donate, if you can, since touring can be grueling and expensive. RIOT FOLK CD RELEASE SHOW // 4.16 Tansy & Tarweed will be playing this show with Aryeh Gorif in support of their split CD release. Riot Folk are always a good time, so come show some support. 8-BIT REVOLUTION: BENEFIT FOR JEFFREY LUERS // 4.17 Remember Jeffrey "Free" Luers? He's in jail for setting some SUVs on fire. But he'll be out really soon, and doesn't want people to forget him! He also needs some money to buy some necessities once he's out. This will be a bleep-bleep-blip-blip dance party courtesy of Waxin' Wary, Spamtron and Cupcake Island. All money raised will go to Free's "getting' out of jail soon" fund. STUMPTOWN STRUGGLERS, HAZEL AND LILA // 4.18 The Stumptown Strugglers are back from tour! Hooray! And you can see them play at the Red and Black. Also playing will be the amazing Hazel (of the Dapper Cadavers) and Lila. Olde tymey bliss. QUEER MOVIE NIGHT // 4.21 Yep, Queer Movie Night is happening this month! For reals, it will hopefully be happening on the third Tuesday of every month. Come check it out! BENEFIT FOR UTAH AETA DEFENDANTS! // 4.24 The support has been overwhelming for the six activists (four in California and two in Utah) being tried as "terrorists" for violating the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. The combined benefits for the AETA 4 have thus far raised more than $1300! And there's still two left! Please come to this show and throw a little more down for Alex, BJ, and Jordan (the grand jury resistor). There will be music by Coffin Ship, Slow Teeth, and Cory Sabin. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Solidarity! PRISONER LETTER WRITING - GET A DISCOUNT // 4.28 And speaking of political prisoners, did you know that we have a prisoner letter writing night on the LAST TUESDAY of every month? Also, did you know that if you write a letter and turn it into a worker, we will give you 10% off your bill? Please, no blank letters or ranting about how good your sandwich is. Everything else is fair game. We'll provide pens, stamps, a list of prisoners. All you have to do is show up. Not too much to ask, right? Keep an eye out for the printed calendars around town. You can't miss them. Also, we're now booking for May. Want to book an event? Email us at: redandblackbooking@yahoo.com - and remember, the deadline is April 25th! In Solidarity, Red and Black Collective
