Hey Chicago, Tres Chicas at Schubas Tonight.

North Carolina's Tres Chicas plays Schubas tonight. These gals sound good. I know Caitlyn Cary from her days scooping ice cream at Dolce Fredo in Houston but you'd likely know her from her hard fiddlin' with Whiskeytown.

If you go bring Caitlyn a bottle of Dewar's for me and a big hug. I'll pay you back.

Hey Chicago! Brazilian Political Physical Therapy Film and Workshop

I don't know exactly what that means either but a good friend is touring the country promoting his film. I've seen the trailer and it looks interesting. If you go, say hello to Nick for me and give him a big squeeze

documentary: Soma: An Anarchist Therapy (DVD shot in Brazil subtitles
in English)
With difficulty walking and half-blinded from torture by the Brazilian
military dictatorship, 79 year old Roberto Freire continues to develop
somatherapy, completing his life's work. Incorporating the ideas of
Wilhelm Reich, the politics of anarchism, and the culture of the
martial art / dance capoeira angola, Soma is used by therapists
organized in anarchist collectives to fight the psychological effects
of authoritarianism.

workshop:
Nazis Vs. Zapatistas: The Struggle Against Co-optation
Informed by Zapatista principles, the workshop develops a skill set
for identifying, challenging and defeating the authoritarian tool of
co-optation. Wanting to study fascist and pre-fascist organizing
directly, Nick has been attending conferences, meetings, presentations
and fund-raisers of the far right, including: The Ku Klux Klan, Focus
on the Family / Lovewonout, Republican Party of Texas, Lyndon
LaRouche, The Minutemen, and Tom DeLay. The workshop examines
philosophies, structures and psychology, comparing authoritarian
models to those that are consensual, communitarian or autonomous.

track du jour

Artist: Debbie
Track: Crazy
Location: Log Cabin (Joseph, Or)
Date: 07-04-2006
Comment: Tricia and I are on a trip across the Pacific Northwest. We stopped at Wallowa Lake outside Joseph, OR so we could see fireworks that night. Instead we visited with new friends Debbie, Arnitra and Debbie's dog honey. We sang some songs, drank some wine, and talked about all kinds of stuff.
