Sedition events in January 2010

Hey y'all

Happy New Year. The high holy days are passed and the shopping frenzy is coming to a close but you can still use up that crisp 20 dollar bill your granny gave you for a bit of anarcho-propaganda. Come on by Sedition and pick up an IWW Calendar or a Slingshot Organizer for 2010. We also have a pile of recently arrived half-price new books--Kids' books, current events, queer studies etc.

As for events you don't wanna miss. On January 1st, after you roll out of bed at 5pm you can have breakfast and then get right back into the noise with an evening all ages show with out of town and local bands Systems, Torch Runner, Bav Morda and hopefully Dissent.
Then later in the week come out to hear Magpie Killjoy speak about Anarchism and Fiction. Magpie will be selling and signing copies of the book, Mythmakers & Lawbreakers: Anarchist Writers on Fiction.

And Sedition wants you to know that we have a small office space we are hoping to sublet. It's about 200 sq ft. with a separate entrance on Richmond. Let us know if you or your band or your organization needs some space of their own.

Sedition Books is still located at 901 Richmond Avenue (That's one block East of Montrose) and you can call or check out our website for more info: 713.523.0807 or www.seditionbooks.org

As always. All events are free but we can always use your donations for the infoshop and the touring bands and speakers.

Spanish Language Film Series
Corazon del Tiempo (Spanish w/ English Subtitles, 90 min, 2009)

In the mountains of Southeastern mexico, in a Zapatista village, Sonia, is coming of age. She is betrothed in the traditional manner to Miguel, a valuable young community leader she has known since childhood. Her future seems set until one day, as she meanders along a jungle path, she finds herself staring into the eyes of a handsome rebel fighter, Lieutenant Julio, and falls deeply in love. Sonia’s revolution of the heart threatens the wills and convictions of everyone around her and puts the security of her community, and the entire insurgent army, in danger.
Corazon del Tiempo is more than a romance set in Zapatista territory. It is the first feature length film filmed with all Zapatista supporters as actors and in a EZLN community. Corazon del Tiempo is a rare and intimate look into the heart of the Zapatista revolution in Chiapas, Mexico.

Insurgent Theatre presents: "Ulysses' Crewmen"
Show starts at 6:30 with music from Torry Mercer and the Deconstruction Crew

A chair. A gun. A radio. Two actors. 60 minutes.
We join the struggle against imperial political economies arranged by bureaucratic trade regimes that make us all complicit in the exploitation and destruction of others. We use Homer's Odyssey as a framework to stage these struggles as a single claustrophobic scene between two people, one of whom is bound and gagged. Ulysses' Crewmen have mutinied. The captain has been captured and the moral of Homer's tale has been reversed. All the mutineers perished but one, who is now left alone with the hero of all western civilization struggling against obsolete morality and the impossibility of ethical action.

The show is intense, high energy, and contains strong language.

Show starts at 6:30 with music from Torry Mercer and the Deconstruction Crew

Acoustic Show: Ruminations on Music, Bicycles, and Gardening with Malcolm Rollick

Sedition is excited to host Malcolm Rollick on her latest tour through Texas.

Just back from a coast to coast Bike Tour, she will regale us with tales of bicycling through the heartland and songs.

"On her records, there are guitars and keys and violin, among other ethereal sounds. But the thing that will really get you is her descriptive writing and a voice that comes from some place where tumbleweeds zigzag across a dirt road, graveyards are sunny and angels like to tread." Maine Music
