AK Party at Modern Times

Posted on January 23rd, 2009 in Happenings

As announced in a previous post, AK Press is “Indie Press of the Month” at Modern Times bookstore in San Francisco. Our first event there, a party that featured brief talks by current and forthcoming AK authors, happened last Friday. Authors offered overviews of their work as well as praise for (and occasional humorous jabs at) AK. Wine flowed freely and MCs Annie Danger (of Modern Times), Ashley, Jose, and Macio (all of AK) did a great (and very funny) job.

Although none of us had the foresight to bring a camera, Jose had his trusty iphone. Here are a few pics:

	Chris Carlsson, editor of Critical Mass: Bicycling’s Defiant Celebration and author of Nowtopia.
	Diana Block, author of the forthcoming (in March) Arm the Spirit: A Woman’s Journey Underground and Back.
	Rachel Herzing and Isaac Ontiveros, both members of the Critical Resistance editorial collective that produced Abolition Now!: Ten Years of Strategy and Struggle against the Prison Industrial Complex.
	David Solnit, co-editor (with his sister Rebecca Solnit) of the forthcoming Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle.
