If you're in the NYC area this weekend and want to hang around with some good and smart people who do good and smart things, check out this event below. I can't vouch for the music personally, but I know my dear Julia B. has good punk and other music tastes. Please also consider a donation -- they're doing a lot of free-time work using a budget that mostly comes from their own pockets. Please also feel free to distribute widely....
