ARROWBEAR ANARCHIST CONFERENCE MAY 19,20,21 1994 WRITE:AAG POBOX 3223, RUNNING SPRINGS, CA 92382 (310)490-7284 Greetings from the greater Los Angeles area. Its been a couple of years since the last gathering in Long Beach and seems about time for another SOuthern California Anarchist Gathering. This time around we have secured a better location for coming together. We have arrangements to meet at a privately run music camp in the mountains above Los Angeles. There are cabin accomodations for about 200 people, plus the option to pitch additional tents. At this point it looks as the the only cost of the event will be a $5.00 contribution from each individual going towards the purchase of bulk foods to be shared during the weekend. There are kitchen facilities available, and local Food not Bombs groups can provide equipment for cooking, but additional provisions are necessary. If possible, advance contributions will make getting neccessary supplies easier. While the use of this camp is being donated any contributions or clean up\repairs will be beneficial to making this event happen. If we as a community can show respect and support for the location there is the possibility of additional gatherings at this spot. At this point the gathering is in the organizational stage. Needed are workshops, discussion topics, presentations, suggestions, or whatever else people think would be of benefit to a succesful gathering. There is already a suggestion that instead of the typical gig, there be an accoustic performance evening, including spoken word pieces, performance art, acoustic music, or theatres. There is also space to set up a showing of art work or installation pieces. If you or anyone else is interested in displaying something please try to make advance arrangements or notification. At some point after the first of the year there will start to be organizing meetings to work out the detailed specifics of the gathering. If you or any organizations you know of are interested in helping please get in touch. This gathering will be a good chance to hook up and get ready for another summer of action across the country, as other gatherings will follow (EF!, Food not Bombs International Gathering, Rainbow, etc....) As resources are limited, it would be appreciated if folx could xerox and distribute this information to thier respective communities and intersted parties. Any donations or contacts you think would be beneficial to making this gathering work should be directed either to the Arrowbear contact address or leave a message at the contact phone
