On a related note, don’t miss Ben Metcalf’s deviously satirical piece at Harper’s: Why I Pay My Taxes. Also, there’s an article in the current issue of the Brooklyn Rail called Paying for War that provides some sympathetic coverage of our group.

Luckily I won’t be moving on the exact same day as the bookfair this year, so I can actually attend. If you’re in NYC this Saturday definitely check it out, it should be awesome. There’ll be much, much more than just books. From the website:

The Second Annual NYC Anarchist Bookfair (2008) will host a one-day exposition of books, zines, pamphlets, art, film/video, and other cultural and very political productions of the anarchist scene worldwide, on Saturday, April 12, 2008 at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan. The Bookfair will also feature two days of workshops and presentations on Saturday, April 12, and Sunday, April 13, 2008.

The Second Annual NYC Anarchist Bookfair will feature over 40 tables as well as an art gallery. Panels, presentations, workshops, and skill shares will provide further opportunities to learn more and share your own experience and creativity. You know you should attend the 2st NYC Anarchist Bookfair if … * You’re an anarchist publisher, zinester, film/videographer, artist * You’re a member of the worldwide anarchist community * You’re an anarchist based in NYC and looking to connect with other anarchists here * You’re anarcho-curious and looking to find out more about the contemporary anarchist movement, its ideas, ethics, activism or just to find out more about the community.
