hey folks, you may have heard, but im trying to fill in a gap for a tour im doing with richard laviolette and my roommate danielle this summer. we are trying to set up a show in winnipeg, for saturday july 19th. it seems simple enough, a good day of the week and plenty of time to set something up, but we are having trouble. does anyone know anyone who sets up shows, or who would host a one off house show for us? it can be acoustic, or plugged in... we can learn some tricks if it makes it a little more appealing.. here is some of richards music: http://www.southernsouls.ca/richard-laviolette/  & https://youvechangedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-of-your-raw-materials some of my music: http://youtu.be/dS7pZZrtdH0 & https://archive.org/details/byron._-_burn_pile

forgot one, so i decided to feature it in its own post.

it's a scam! - this zine is the first in a series exploring and celebrating contemporary and historical scammers and their misdeeds, from art forgery, petty thieves and anyone who skims of the top of capitalist decadence. Scams provide insights into social inequality. They are little pieces of forgotten or erased histories and, often, testaments to the resourcefulness and resistance of cultural outsiders.
