In March, please join us as we offer the unusual work of Swampdonkey.
“We don’t know much about Swampy other than he/she was raised by a young pack of African wild dogs that escaped from the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans in 1983. Swampy dabbled in southern human cults during the mid 90’s until he/she found themselves on a northbound Norfolk Southern junk train headed full speed into the dark hyphy mist.”

From February 10-15, anarchists, native warriors, radicals, and pissed off locals converged in Vancouver to disrupt the capitalist spectacle known as the Olympics. Thousands marched through the streets in opposition to the Games, with some participants blocking roads, attacking the buildings of corporate Olympic sponsors, and fighting with the police. This was the culmination of years of community and international organizing against the Games. Come hear some firsthand experience from a local independent journalist who travelled to British Columbia to cover the action. Join us at SubRosa from 7pm to 9pm on Wed, March 3rd for a night of photos, videos, and stories. This event is free.

Subrosa Open Mic – Thu 8pm – Performance Music Poetry
$3-7 at the door – 703 Pacific Ave Santa Cruz
This Thursday, Ellie hosts SubRosa Open Mic, a taste of old skool Santa Cruz.
Years ago, the long-gone performance art space What Is Art? held down the
north end of Pacific Ave. This might give you a flavor of What Is Art? as well as
something of the SubRosa Open Mic:

Now, SubRosa holds down the other end of Pacific. This is one way to
support art in Santa Cruz as well as this all-volunteer radical space.

Hey, we like presents too.
Something amazing is happening at SubRosa. New BOOKSHELVES!
Maybe that doesn’t sound so amazing to you, but for those of us who maintain the Anarchist Library it’s really exciting. And more shelves means more room for books. You can help us expand the Anarchist Library by checking out our wishlist over on that corporate book website that shall remain nameless, and then heading out to your local bookstore to buy the books, and bringing them into SubRosa for the library. Or maybe you already have a copy of one of these books sitting around gathering dust. Bring into the Anarchist Library and share it with everyone.
Another way to support the Anarchist Library is to RETURN THE BOOKS YOU HAVE BORROWED in a reasonable time frame. We don’t like to send out lots of emails and make lots of phone calls asking for these books back. But the fact is that we have a lot of great books in the library, and we make those books available to everyone, but the library only works if those books get brought back once in a while. Try not to keep books for more than a month.
Thanks for helping us improve the Anarchist Library! And a very special thanks to the little elves who made the beautiful new bookshelves!

On Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 7pm, Doug “G” and Rene Buonarroti will speak at SubRosa about the current occupation movement that captured national headlines this month. Protestors at UCSC, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis and UC Irvine occupied buildings last week in response to the UC Regents decision to raise tuition by 32%.
Doug “G” and Rene Buonarroti are two non-students who were arrested by UC Berkeley police during the occupation of Wheeler Hall. They will be reading a text they have prepared on the revolt and discuss the actions at UC Berkeley. Donations go to cover their legal costs. Please come out!

Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In and SubRosa Present
Down by Law
Friday November 20th 8pm
at SubRosa (inside if cold and outside if warm)
703 Pacific Ave. (downtown)
Down by Law is a 1986 black-and-white independent film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch with Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni.The film centers on the arrest, incarceration, and escape from jail of three men. It discards jailbreak film conventions by focusing on the interaction between the convicts rather than on the mechanics of the escape. A key element in the film is Robby Müller’s slow-moving camerawork, which captures the architecture of New Orleans and the Louisiana bayou to which the cellmates escape.
Plus fabulous subversive shorts!
