How to See the Light

Kid in Crowd - What can you say about the revolutionary struggle in America today? For Americans, what do you as French men not a part of America's culture see that we can do to further the revolution?

Godard - I can only answer to very specific question. You have been asked to go free Bobby Seal. So free Bobby Seal.

KiC - There's always the question of modality. How do you free Bobby Seal? The army is trying to keep him.

Godard - That is your problem. You have been told this afternoon about it. That's your problem: you are student here. I don't know if you have to pay to live here or if you are here through scholarship. But you have to examine what is your own situation, and then to learn from it. Do you want to change it? Do you think it's marvelous? Do you enjoy the light? So don't change it and support Nixon. If you think you don't enjoy it enough, so free Bobby Seal.

Let's let Juni do the talking:

It officially starts the 17th of April. The event’s called CIRCA LABS. Our project is called PIRATESCOS. It’ll happen inside the Plaza las Americas parking lot, in front of Banco Popular and First Bank.

Our booth measures 30 ft. of length and 7 ft. of height. The idea is to create a D.I.Y. store in front of the biggest mall of the Caribbean. We’ll be a pirate boat (the booth will have its own homemade flag) in front of Plaza with our own store.

We’ll be selling CDs, mix-tapes, limited edition shirts, pins, patches, zines, and more.

The 18th, Carie and Diente Pierro will be playing between 4 and 7 PM.

Take care,

Juni

The Riverbed has an ebook coming up on EveryDayYeah soon. Read a preview HERE. Check out what J.D. Nelson had to say about it:

Wow, just finished “Afternoon Drinking is Okay” in one gulp. Very
cool. It's easy to read—not that it's simple—it just
flows. It's not simple at all—very complex, actually, with many
layers and streams branching out only to reconnect with the main
river. I like the style—very stream-of-consciousness, remembering
memories, but also very tight—excellent visuals—orange night, the
shroom trip. All the darkness in the beauty of P.R. and how
Riverbed, the poet, finds the beauty in the darkness—this is what
struck me after reading Damaged, as well. Very cool read—like I
said, had me from the beginning—I could have read more. For me,
the mark of a great story or movie is that I don't want it to end—
such was the case here.
