***Twelve Hours of John Waters*

When:     Sunday, January 16th, 2011
Where:    Ste-Emilie Skillshare, 3942 rue Ste-Emilie
From:     10am
To:         10pm
Why:      Imagine eating a single fry of poutine and trying to call that a
meal. When you really need a greasy, imobilizing and salty treat, the only
thing more disgusting is John
Waters<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnpofBtijF8>,
who must be overindulged in for full appreciation.The battle cry of “filth
is my politics, filth is my life” cannot be lost to the future
degenerations. Our only resolution this new year is to keep up the norm
bashing, shame smashing and hate trashing that has inspired us since day
one.

*Night-Vision study group

*In the same vein as J. Sakai's "Settlers: the Myth of the White
Proletariat," "Night-Vision: Illuminating War & Class On The Neo-Colonial
Terrain" examines the  class/gender/race system called white supremacy and
heteropatriarchy from an historical perspective. Unlike many of the academic
books out there, Night-Vision makes complex ideas easier to understand.
How could Europe afford to invade the Americas, also called Turtle Island?
Why has the U.S. become the heart of empire? Come participate to find out!
Local publisher Kersplebedeb has kindly donated eight copies of this book to
the Skillshare. Space is limited, therefore, this time around.
If you are available every Monday night in January, from 7-9pm, *please RSVP
*and let us know you'll be attending.
