August Movies and Iron Rail Events!
Lots of great stuff in this August email, coming as it is in the midst of our building excitement for the re-emergence of anarchists as a visible national presence in the streets, with the DNC and RNC protests looking to be off the hook at the end of the month.
- August "Long, Hot Summer Survival SALE"
- Iron Rail Supports Anarchist Injured by Police
- August 11th workshop: Self-Defense and Hold-Breaking 4pm
- Shut Down the RNC with us!
- August Movies
- End Notes and Quibbets
-----
The very first Iron Rail sale EVER!
It has a taken us four long years to get this great idea, but our blossoms have finally borne their succulent fruits in the form of a sale!!! We must take a moment to pay homage to our heroes of sales, Frankie & Johnny! Let em haveit! Here's the terms of our "insane" idea:
-All pamphlets are buy one, get one free (almost all are priced at $1)
-All $1 used books are buy one, get one free. (These books can be found in the large "used fiction" section, as well as scattered through all of the for sale books, in every section.
-All books with "Bush" in the title are 50% off, because the bastard's almost history! Woo!
-Our large size 2008 Slingshot organizers are down from $10 to $6 because the year is half over.
-We have some books on permanent sale to reduce overstock. Another World is Possible, Get Your War On, SchQuall Yearbook 2001 are all $5.

The Iron Rail recently sent $50 to an IWW member in Providence, RI who got her leg broken a year ago at an IWW demonstration. She has undergone surgeries and physical therapy because of her extensive injuries. We also signed letters asking the DA to drop her charges.

Self-Defense and Hold Breaking Workshop
August 11th, 4pm, Iron Rail Books
Come learn self-defense and hold-breaking techniques from a knowledgeable Kung Fu practitioner. This is a useful skill for: getting away from cops, defending yourself from an attacker on the street or in your home, staying safe and out of jail at protests (such as the RNC: see below), and more! This will be super fun, there will be cold drinks like lemonade and a comfortable atmosphere for all. Come!

Shut Down the RNC with the Iron Rail!
Some of us will be headed north to the Republican National Convention at the end of August to join with tens of thousands of others in shutting down the RNC. We are trying to co-ordinate interested people from New Orleans into a car caravan to ride up ttogether and fill every car that goes to St. Paul, MN from here. PLEASE, email us if you want to go or help with gas money or in any way.
The dates are flexibly from August 29-September 4. If enough volunteers end up going, we may close for a few days during this time. Email nolabookcollective@hotmail.com to get hooked in. RNC Protest info:

We also have papers about the protests available free at the Iron Rail.

August Movies - All start at 8pm on Tuesday nights
August 5: The Triplets of Belleville
When her grandson is kidnapped during the Tour de France, Madame Souza and her beloved pooch Bruno team up with the Belleville Sisters--an aged song-and-dance team from the days of Fred Astaire--to rescue him. Fun animated movie.
August 12: The Gits
The story of the promising, underground Seattle band, The Gits. Fronted by charismatic vocalist, Mia Zapata, and poised to explode onto the national music scene, a stranger came in and took it all away. A decade later, the legacy lives on. 'The Gits' party included, as they are one collective member's favorite band of all time. WOO!
August 19: Breaking the Spell
Anarchists make a documentary about the WTO protests in Seattle, telling their story and getting us pumped up before we head to Minnesota to shut down a spectacle of capitalism ourselves!
August 26: Fourth World War
From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war. It is the story of a global movement for justice, against the corporate tyranny swallowing the world. Another film to get us pumped up before the RNC protests, and to remind us of the millions of people who would be there with us if they could, whose lives are devastated by the policies of the US empire.
