[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

OMFG. This is my Christmas.

If anyone else is going, PM me, and we can meet up, and go IRL troll the LeftCom at the Klasbatalo table!

Eh?

So much fun to be had!

Why is nobody else pumped about this?

I mean, even if you're not in town for it, aren't you foaming at the mouth for the inevitable drama?


I remember one time, a few years ago, somehow John Zerzan ended up as a keynote speaker (what?!), and hilarity ensued. In the inevitable chaos, one person of colour (speaking, bizarrely, as a representative of all people of colour) stood up and said, I'm paraphrasing, "Civilization is racist! If you're not a primitivist you're a racist!" Then, another person of colour (again, bizarrely, speaking as a self-appointed representative of all people of colour) was like, "Well, primitivism is racist, and if you're not some kind of synicalist, you're a racist!". Then, like, every guilty white anarchist in the room stared at their feet for a while until someone - and it might have actually been Peter Gerderloos, who I didn't know at the time, so I defs couldn't swear to it - was like, "Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle."

Oh! And then the time I accidentally smoked PCP!

SERIOUSLY! THE BOOKFAIR IS THE BEST!!!!!

sounds like a blast, we have the pinksterlanddagen (http://www.pinksterlanddagen.org/english) which are in general really good fun though recently have been tainted by infighting after a few friends of mine asked an prominent but abusive manarchist to fuck off..

If I wanted hilarity and a good time and were in Montreal, I wouldn't want silly LARPing to spoil it.

Only slightly relevant, but I heard Spartacus Books in Vancouver is moving. Anyone know where they're going?
