Independent Media in a Time of War- Documentary 29 minutes
Amy Goodman observes how the US media in wartime fails to uphold it’s important democratic duties. According to Noam Chomsky, “In order for democracy to be ‘democratic’ the media has to fulfill two functions:
1) The media must report the news fairly, completely, and without bias.
2) The media must function as a watchdog for the public against abuses of power.”
As good man reminds us throughout the video, the media, has failed to provide accurate, unbiased information to the citizens about the actions and policies of the current administration’s war on Iraq. Goodman untangles the role of the media in reporting complex wartime events and provides a context in which to think about their role when she asks, “If this were state media, how would it be any different?” Goodman advocates for independent media and their role in providing an alternative to the “corporate lens” through which we view the important democratic tradition of debate and dissent in times of war.
Voices Against War; F-15 NYC- Documentary21:43 minutes
“Voices against War” is a documentary chronicling the experiences of citizens who took to the streets in Manhattan in union with millions of people around the world on February 15, 2003 in a day called the “The World Says No to War” By the end of the weekend, demonstrations had been held in more than 600 cities across the world. Organizers have called “The world Says NO to War” possibly the largest day of protest in the history of the world. Major cities across the world reported crowds ranging from 60,000 to 1,500,00 filling the streets to protest the war in Iraq.
Friday-May 20th
PEACE ONE DAY -80 minutes documentary
is the story of one man’s attempts to persuade the global community via the United Nations to officially sanction a global ceasefire day; a day of non-violence; a day of Peace.
This documentary charts the remarkable 5-year journey of the filmmaker as he meets heads of state, Noble Peace Laureates, aid agencies, freedom fighters, media moguls, the innocent victims of war and, eventually, everyone who was anyone at the UN.
An individual genuinely can make a difference: The UN International Day of Peace is now fixed in the calendar on 21st September annually. The real challenge has now begun - to get the world to unite on a day fast approaching.

# YLEM Forum: ARCHIMEDIA from Australia
Tues, May 17, 7:30 pm http://ylem.org
McBean Theater, Exploratorium
3501 Lyon St., San Francisco, CA 94123
FREE, Open to the public and wheelchair accessible
Sponsored by YLEM: Artists Using Science and Technology
Contact: Trudy Myrrh Reagan, trudymyrrh@earthlink.net, 650-856-9593
Full information at: www.ylem.org
Molly Hankwitz and David Cox of Archimedia are here from Australia to present a formidable body of work, the result of a design and research collaboration that started in 1998. Using film and architecture, Archimedia uniquely interprets the overlap between digital media and architectural, public spaces in its lectures, performances and presentations. “Cities of the future,” “blobchitecture,” surveillance, hackers and “spaces of command and control” are some of the themes to be explored.
Program:
In their ongoing experiments in “Urban Strechnology” (the study of the street) they have come up with a “Tool Kit” for micro broadcasting. Their 15-minute infomercial boasts about it.
We’ll also experience “Ambient Unities,” a sound collage in which audio tracks, networked sounds, film sound tracks, Napster and live mix have been employed to comment on the modern city in film and political culture.
As well, they have experiments to show about “laptop cinema” and the small screen, which consisted of the screening and trading of cinema in public places during a series of workshops they gave. They’ll show a short film made on a wrist cam.
The Archimedia study, “Lost Cities/Spaces of Command and Control,” looks at our 9/11 anxiety in relation to cities, fortress structures and networked culture. We’ll see excerpts of it. Finally, “Space of Command and Control” looks at the Panopticon (they see all you do, you can’t see them).
These will be followed by a discussion of your 21st century survival tools: “diy” navigation and personalized augmented reality.
Archimedia is David Cox, Melbournian digital media artist and award winning filmmaker and Molly Hankwitz, media artist, net and new media writer. They have presented at Artspace, (Sydney),Other Cinema, Artists Television Access, Gallery 21, Royal Institute of Melbourne, Brisbane Powerhouse, Metro Arts, ThisIsNotArt, and Straight Out of Brisbane festivals.

# **Film Premiere** INSIDE IRAQ: THE UNTOLD STORIES
Friday, May 20 2005 - Thursday, May 26 7:00 PM
Galaxy Theater Van Ness @ Sutter Street Downtown / Civic Center
Inside Iraq: The Untold Stories will have its San Francisco premiere May 20th to May 26th with showings at 1, 4, 7, and 9:30pm daily at Regal's Galaxy Theater at 1285 Sutter Street.
Armed only with a video camera, a press pass made at Kinko's, and a single name written on a crumpled up piece of paper, filmmaker, Mike Shiley, cashed in airline miles and flew to Amman, Jordan where he entered Iraq as a freelance journalist on assignment for KATU-ABC TV in Portland, OR.
Mike traveled through the country for two months with only a local guide, chronicling the life of the Iraqi people and the US military. He filmed unique stories the national media ignores: gun markets, bomb shelters, mine fields, hospitals, schools, and villages showing the reality of life in Iraq beyond the media spin.
While embedded with the US military, he actually joined a combat unit and qualified as a gunner on an Abrams tank and went out on live-fire night patrols along the Syrian border.
Director, Mike Shiley, will be at every showing Friday through Sunday to introduce the film, meet the audience and answer questions.
This film had a very successful one-month run in Portland and it has been shown over 122 times at colleges and performing arts centers in 25 states around the US since October 2004.

There is more than enough camping room for everyone, however parking is somewhat limited
so please carpool as much as possible. Some of the camping spots you can drive to and some are a short hike. There are bathrooms at all the campgrounds and even a couple of showers near the pool.
Amenities of this magical place include, but not limited to:
? A large Pool to swim in complete with djs for our Sat afternoon pool party.
? A small lake with access to canoes to paddle around and enjoy the beauty of it all.
? Endless hiking with many cool areas to check out.
? A healing zone with local practitioners.
? A remote (hike to) stage where you can put on your own acoustic show of any sort. (this is the perfect spot to watch the sunset!!) So if you are a musician - bring your instruments!!
? There are a number of tents (40 or so) that are pre existing they can be used on a first come basis. They have two cots in each one, no flame is allowed in these tents.

# Proctor & Gamble Global Day of Action http://idausa.org
IDA has been boycotting Procter & Gamble (P&G) since 1989 because they
blind, burn, maim and kill thousands of animals each year in product
tests that are cruel, outdated and not required by law. While P&G
claims to lead the industry in developing alternatives to animal
testing, they continue to test products on animals even while hundreds
of other companies have stopped.
IDA sponsors a Global Day of Action Against P&G each year to focus
attention on their cruelty and hypocrisy. Last year over 140 boycott
P&G events took place all over the world - from Auckland to Aberdeen -
making it one of the largest days of action of its kind in the world.
This year's event takes place on Saturday, May 21st, and we hope
you'll join us by organizing or participating in an event.
There are plenty of ways to get involved, from staging a protest
outside of a P&G facility or a store that sells P&G products to
organizing a P&G product return in your community. Contact IDA at
(415) 388-9641 or ida@idausa.org for brochures and other materials to
distribute. For information about how P&G tortures animals and more
ways that you can make a difference, visit

# Bike Carnival at the Bike Kitchen Sat May 21 11:00AM to 5:00pm Free
Come help us celebrate the Bike Kitchen's two-year anniversary. Last year's party was a success, but this year's will be even bigger and crazier. All ages are welcome to compete in our bike challenges, everything from the Slow Race to the Tube Patch King to the Huffy Toss. Cyclecide will of course be there with a bicycle-powered ferrris wheel and other extra-terrestrial contraptions, and we'll also be offering bicycle blended smoothies. The event kicks off at 11AM with a Bike Parade, so decorate your bike, bring the kids, and come on down.
Lastly, the fanciest and most high profile event of the day will be the HOMESTYLE BIKE COMPETITION. We have a panel of judges made up of some of the brightest Bay Area bike luminaries. So bring your fanciest, nuttiest or classiest homestyle bike and your could win our grand prize: $100 cash. And of course it wouldn't be a party without a barbecue, music, and a raffle for wonderful bike prizes.

# Saturday, May 21, the Bay Area Vegetarians will host 3 back-to-back fun and important SF events: KFC protest, Shangri-La lunch, Red Vic letter writing party with a presentation by Nora on effective letter writing. You're welcome to come to one, a combination, or all of them.
From 12 noon to 1 pm, we'll protest at KFC, 1900 Irving St (at 18th/19th Ave). Make a statement for the chickens and against KFC's cruelty! Here's the link to this event:
http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php?EID=672#672
From 1:15 to 2:30 pm, we'll have lunch at Shangri-La (right down the street from the KFC), at 2026 Irving St (at 21st Ave). Shangri-La is a delicious, healthy, and reasonably priced all vegetarian, almost all vegan Chinese restaurant. Here's the link to this event:
http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php?EID=625#625
And here's the BAV Ultimate Guide link for Shangri-La:
http://www.bayareaveg.org/ug/display.htm?id=1
From 3 - 5 pm, we'll have the letter writing party at the Red Vic (which is easy to get to on public transportation from Shangri-La, and folks are welcome to head over with me). At the letter writing parties, we write letters to politicians and businesses on a variety of issues related to animals. The link to the letter writing party, which describes it and how to get to the Red Vic, is here: Event location: Red Victorian Peace Center, 1665 Haight Street, corner of Cole. SF
http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php?EID=774#774
Also, from 3 - 3:30, Nora will be doing a mini-workshop on letter writing at the Red Vic. Nora's had letters published in leading national newspapers and magazines, and this is a great opportunity for people who want to speak up for animals, but would appreciate some guidance from someone experienced in writing letters. Nora will also stick around and be available to answer questions for the rest of the letter writing party. Here's the link about Nora's presentation:

# HIPS: Photos from Burning Man Sat May 21 4 - 8 pm free
The human hip may be a marvel of engineering, but in the eyes of photographer Patrick Roddie it's a way to capture a bit of the wild, exotic spirit of Burning Man, the annual arts festival held in the Nevada desert. STUDIO Gallery is happy to present a show of photographs by Roddie from his new book HIPS, just published by Chronicle Books. The show runs from May 18th to May 22nd; dozens of Roddie's photos will be on display in the gallery, including some hips not included in the book.
The book contains 250 different photographs of the same subject-the right hip of someone attending the Burning Man festival-but each one is a riot of color, adornment and individuality. Roddie has been attending Burning Man for years, taking photographs and enjoying the celebration. He writes, "In 2001, while photographing a woman in a lime-green Tinkerbell dress, I stumbled upon what I recognized as a powerful, yet beautiful composition-her right hiphellipsixteen hundred hips later, I felt I probably had enough for a book."
Each photo is spontaneous: Roddie shoots his subjects where he finds them, lit only by the scorching desert sun. He doesn't retouch the photos, doesn't crop them, doesn't even use a tripod. "Everyone's got a belly button and a right hand-those are my reference points." The consistency of the composition allows you to focus on the subjects themselves, and how each has chosen to decorate his or her body: everything from silver body paint to chain mail, from fully clothed to buck-naked. The resulting photographs and book provide a peek into one of the most eclectic art festivals around. And after photographing so many belly buttons, does Roddie prefer innies or outies? "I like them all," he says.
HIPS runs from May 18 - May 22, 2005. The gallery will host a reception for the artist on Saturday, May 21st, 4 - 8 pm; Roddie will speak and sign books and photographs. STUDIO Gallery is located at 1718A Polk Street (between Clay and Washington) in San Francisco. Gallery hours are Wednesday - Friday 11 am - 8 pm, Saturday + Sunday 11 am - 6 pm, and Monday + Tuesday by appointment.

# Grinberg Method Intro Lecture Sun May 22, 7p.m.
You are invited to a very interesting evening about the Grinberg Method.
The Grinberg Method aims to enable us to make changes in our life, which results in fuller and happier life, by learning how to pay attention to our bodies and stop automatic patterns that are physical, emotional, and mental.
We will begin with a short introduction its principal ideas: Whatever happens to us - happens in and through our bodies.
Then we’ll continue to talk about foot analysis, a means by which we see one’s life patterns caused by past experience, and how these patters affect the body.
For desert, we will demonstrate how bodywork using the Grinberg Method can change those patterns….
We will also have time for question and answers.
If you would like to read about the Grinberg Method, here’s a link with a paper I wrote:

# RAWdance presents Scripting Intimacies at the Center for Sex & Culture
May 23-25, 2005 Gallery @ 7:30 Performance @ 8:00
$5-15 Sliding Scale 398 11th St @ Harrison
Contact: raw@rawdance.org, 415.686.0728
Throughout history, the human body has been scienced, looked at through a medical lens to derive narratives of our sexual histories
and to create maps of our sexuality. Drawing on the history of sexology, Scripting Intimacies explores how definitions imposed on our
physical and sexual identities impact our self-perception and our intimate relationships. With a mixture of text, dynamic movement, and
intricate partnering, the performance by RAWdance is set amidst an installation of original photography by queer photographer and
collaborator Shawn Tamaribuchi. Founded in 2004 by Ryan T. Smith and Wendy Rein, RAWdance aims to explore the power and vulnerability of
the human body through driven, visceral movement. Scripting Intimacies was developed in part through an AIRSpace residency at the Jons Sims Center for the Arts. http://www.sexandculture.org

Hi…Can you come Wednesday night?
Why am I so excited about this? Because of several factors, among which include:
1. It's the trading rage in Europe and Asia. Foreign Currency Trading is just hitting the market in the US as a viable way to make money.
2. This company makes it easy to learn this money approach. The software program is an “elegant” program, and the market is shown in graphs and charts, not just numbers.
3. You are supported in your trading, with real-time chat rooms, ongoing training opportunities, local teams and groups gathered around trading, so that you learn faster.
4. The market is measured in pips. Up until two years ago, there wasn't a day of 100 pips. This year, 2-3 times per week, and sometimes more often, there are 100 pip spreads. Analysts are expecting the market to expand in the next 2-3 years to have as much as much as 300-600 pips spreads happening.
5. It's a market you can trust… at least more than stocks. Stocks are traded at $28 billion a day. The Forex market trades $1.9 Trillion a DAY!
Please come and check it out. Add to your level of financial education. You're welcomed to invite friends to join you for this informative evening. If you're interested and can't make this meeting, please let me know so I can put you on a special list for the next gathering, or set up a private appointment to introduce it to you.
Cheers! Teri Bigio TeriBigio@aol.com 415.203.3323
# Note: this event is not being held at the Center for Sex & Culture, but the fabulous Loraine has taught with us before and she'll be joining interested attendees on a visit to the Masturbate-a-Thon after her talk. As she as a bisexual activist would be the first to point out, you don't have to choose!

Celebrating Water Democracy
Community Speak-out for a Global Treaty on the Human Right to Water
United Nations World Environment Day 2005
June 2nd, 2005, 2:30- 4:30PM @ The Metreon, San Francisco
From Bolivia to Bayview-Hunter's Point, from Ghana to Alpaugh in
California's Central Valley, communities are organizing for the right to
safe and affordable water. This basic human right is being threatened by
privatization, pollution, industrial agriculture and environmental
racism, among many other injustices.
Celebrating Water Democracy! seeks to advance World Environment Day
2005 Accord Goal 7 on water, particularly Action 21, by creating a space
for open and critical dialogue that encourages collaborative
partnerships among those who are working to ensure the right to clean
and affordable water. This event will promote participatory and
environmentally sustainable models of water management as well as
highlight innovative community-led public partnerships.
Community representatives will provide testimony to a panel of water
rights experts in support of a new global initiative calling for a UN
Convention on the Right to Water. This legally-binding framework
promoting the human right to water would take precedence over
international trade laws that grant corporations rights to commodify and
privatize water/water utilities. It would also give communities a
powerful tool to hold their governments accountable for providing safe
water for all. For more information on this global effort please see
http://www.bluewaterproject.org and http://www.wateractivist.org
COLLABORATING ORGANIZATIONS: Public Citizen's Water for All, Ghana
National Coalition Against Privatization of Water, International Working
Group on the Convention on the Right to Water, Communities for A Better
Alpaugh, African International Mission, Hesperian Foundation, Ella Baker
Center for Human Rights, Women of Africa, Alliance for Democracy,
Environmental Justice Coalition for Water, National Wildlife Federation
and others.

# Bridging the Social Justice and Environmental Movements: Now Is the Time for
Community Conversations About People and the Environment in the Bayview and
Beyond
As part of the U.N. World Environment Day activities, a coalition of Bay
area community groups is hosting an event entitled "Bridging the Social
Justice & Environmental Movements: Now Is the Time" on Friday, June 3 from
1-4:30 pm at the Southeast Community Facility in San Francisco's Bayview
district. This civic gathering will provide a forum for people to relay
their everyday experiences with the impacts of development and change in
their communities and explore how we can learn to work together more
effectively to build a just and sustainable world. Julia Butterfly Hill and
Van Jones will co-host a panel including Bayview Hunters Point community
leaders and selected international mayors, followed by interactive
conversations with the presenters. To RSVP, please contact Paul Liotsakis at
(415) 637-2339 or at liotsakis@yahoo.com.

# BURNING RIVER – June 25 & 26
Saturday & Sunday, 2 hours north of the Bay Area on the Upper Cache River
Can you imagine 100+ Burners on a fabulous, hot, sunny day on the river? We can dress in crazy attire, have water battles (Super Soakers are a must), chill out on the beaches and just enjoy being in a wet, tree-lined environment with amazing scenery right before our eyes. Once you are on the river, there is nothing to do but have fun and relax. All meals are taken care of and all gear is sent ahead. The most you have to worry about is loosing your paddle and having to swim.
At night, we can put on the Bling!Bling!, light up our e-poi/e-staffs while dazzling the natives by the river's edge. With a little coordination, we could set up our own cozy village with a community bar among the trees and deeply connect with one another.
If we get enough interest, we may be able to take over one campsite for ourselves (run the music, stay up all night, etc.) and have leverage to book a campground on the way for the preceding Friday night stay or perhaps negotiate discount rooms at the local casino for Friday night. Stay tuned for these opportunities…
This is an all-inclusive, family-oriented (12 yrs +/min. 65 lbs.) event so we encourage you to bring the whole Burner family and to post this announcement out to other Burner communities. The company running it has Burners on the payroll but the guests will be a mix of Burners and non-Burners – our goal is to make it mostly Burners!
The scheduled trip includes 2 days of volcanic river canyon rafting (rated class 3 but is mostly class 2) in either a 2 person 'ducky' or a 4 persons raft. The $139 pp fee includes all on-river meals and evening entertainment, life jacket, camping fees, parking, raft rental, paddles and shuttle service. There will be some free tickets for those in our community who cannot afford this adventure but passionately want to attend.
2 hours north of the Bay Area on the Upper Cache River.
