Tobocman in the Bay
We in the Bay had the pleasure of hosting two events with Seth Tobocman last week. He doesn’t get all the way out west that often so it’s always a treat when he makes the voyage.
On Tuesday, June 29th, Seth and Eric Laursen were at Modern Times promoting their new book Understanding the Crash (AK Press doesn’t have any stock right now because the publisher is out, but you’ll be the first to know when we get copies). Eric and Seth gave an overview of how the crisis came about, how it is affecting communities across the country, and what some groups are doing to fight back.

| Then on Friday was Seth Tobocman and Eric Drooker at Station 40. If you were sitting all alone on Friday night pondering the meaning of life then you should add yourself to the events list at Station 40 and spice things up a bit (Station40events[at]lists.riseup.net). These two old friends, co-conspirators, and great performers aren’t under the same roof that often, so we have to thank the events committee at Station 40 for putting it all together. |

| Seth showed pieces from Understanding the Crash and You Don’t Have to Fuck People Over to Survive. Keep up with more of Seth’s art and action here. Eric gave us a crash course in working with media moguls like the New Yorker (who often use his artwork), showed stories from Flood and Blood Song, showed some “concept art” for the animation he recently completed for the Howl movie, and narrated a pictorial tour of Palestine that he took not long ago. See more from Eric here. |

| Thanks to everyone who came out. We’ll see you again soon. |
