A-Infos (en) US, Anarchist journal, The Nor Easter #4 - IthAca Update By Ryan Clover (Silent City Distro collective)

IthAca is staying warm this winter with a turbo boost of kick-ass projects and community 
building. While there are many exciting things happening around here in this small, hilly 
city, the anarchist folks (us) here at the local radical distro have some very specific 
updates from the Silent City. Read this like newsflash headlines. If you want more, you’re 
gonna have to get our zine. ---- "IthAca Zine!" is a radical publication of anarchist art, 
poetry, photos, essays, etc. We publish this zine every two months with a big celebration 
and benefit show. It has brought a whole bunch of new folks out of the woodwork! Our 
second issue is coming out in February and we're psyched. Order one today, or download it 
and print it out.

Silent City Distro: We are celebrating our new office space on the Ithaca Commons. We just 
built a wooden structure and some new shelves, and stocked them full of awesome radical 
literature and newspapers. Along with the Intro to Anarchist Studies class and radical 
reading group, we will be holding regular office hours and operating a zine library. 
Anybody want to hook us up with a copy machine?

Storm Country Tour: Coming to a folk-punk house near you starting in February, 2009. 
IthAca is representing music from the Silent City this winter, and a group of local 
musicians are hitting the road to play music and spread inspiration and love to our 
comrades in the Northeast. We'll be touring from Ithaca to Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, 
Kent, Pittsburgh, DC, Philly, NYC, Boston, Providence, Portland, Montreal, Vermont, and 
Albany. Did I miss anyone? Check the Distro Web site for links.

Ithaca Freeskool is still kicking ass with a variety of classes and skill-shares from 
around Ithaca. The next session begins in February and will most likely keep the energy 
through the winter.

Natural gas companies have laid out the pipelines and legal groundwork to completely 
devastate Upstate New York and surrounding regions through drilling operations in the 
Marcellus Shale. They want to start horizontal drilling, using millions of gallons of 
clean water and creating massive amounts of irreversible contamination. Our lives are on 
the line.

SCIENCE FICTION vs. FANTASY...Dance Off. Who will it be? SHOWDOWN 2009: It's about time. 
Come to Ithaca and show your stuff at this $5 benefit party. It will be on February 7, at 
8 p.m. at the Silent City Distro Barricades, 115 E. MLK St. (the Commons), IthAca, N.Y., 
14850. Contact us if you and your affinity group (for dancing!) need a place to stay.
