SUMMARY:JJ Gregg / WMD
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30pm; Music at 8:00pm\n$8-16 supports the artists and the AltLib\n \nJJ Gregg is known for his lyrical and meditative style of sitar playing. For the past eighteen years\, JJ has studied and performed South Asian Classical music on the sitar under the guidance of his guru\, Ustad Usman Khan. JJ Gregg has performed in India\, Japan Thailand\, and throughout the U.S.\nhttps://jjgregg.bandcamp.com/ \nWMD is the ambient electronic project of Michael Erickson. The prolific electronic musician from the pacific northwest creates lush\, airy songs thrumming with the power of melancholia\, nostalgia\, and the bliss and sorrow of relationships. Erickson’s music taps into a blend of chillwave\, downtempo\, and even post-rock. As daunting as that can sound\, WMD lands somewhere between Tycho\, Washed Out\, and Baths in his deep\, melodic production.\nhttps://wmdchiptune.bandcamp.com/ \nAltLib is always ALL AGES! \nRSVP and more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2286800118271074/

SUMMARY:Film: Roger & Me
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Bellingham Film Coalition\, Whatcom-Skagit IWW presents…\n\nTHIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!! Before all the hype\, big budgets\, and\nmainstream controversy that made him famous\, Michael Moore grabbed a\ncamera and a microphone\, and barged into the offices and cocktail\nparties of the people in power — all so he could ask tough questions\nand demand real answers. It’s all worth it\, if only to see the captains\nof industry squirm…  This is some punk rock\, d.i.y.\, socially relevant\nfilm making! \nFlint\, Michigan\, was a city dominated by one company\, General Motors (GM)\, largest corporation in the world. GM Chair Roger B. Smith decides to close eleven GM plants\, most in Flint\, resulting in 30\,000 lost jobs. Despite GM still making profits in the billions\, Smith moves those jobs to new factories in Mexico\, where wages are lower. As such\, Moore goes on a quest to speak to Smith to find out exactly his rationale for relocating those 30\,000 jobs from Flint\, thus devastating the city\, and to show Smith firsthand that devastation. But Moore’s quest is easier said than done. \nAltLib is always all ages~ \nRSVP and more info here: www.facebook.com/events/225780224936382/ \nBellingham Film Coalition brought to you by:\nWhatcom-Skagit IWW\nWhatcom Peace & Justice Center\nFilm Is Truth\nAlternative Library

SUMMARY:Classroom: Nettle Cordage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Cordage is an ancient technology that has the power to heal when practiced in its primitive form. Fibers from many plants growing around us can be prepared and twisted together to make a tool essential for our basic needs. Each one is a work of art in which the soul of the maker can be seen. \nNettle has a very fine and strong fiber. It has long been used by native people for making fishing nets. Davis will be teaching the method of hand-working the material from dry stalks into strong two-ply string. This is a basic initiation into cordage. Each participant will get to work with their own materials and bring home the string they make. Much of the time will be spent practicing and refining the technique\, including the finer points of how to make the strongest cord. There will be other fibers to experiment with as well\, including wool\, cotton string\, New Zealand flax\, and red cedar bark. \nDavis has been practicing primitive skills for several years\, having learned at retreats from some great teachers on the west coast. His attention to detail and appreciation for the deeper meaning behind the work will give you a strong introduction to this valuable life skill. Davis is also a song leader and will facilitate the playful creation of a song we can all sing together while we work! \nALL MATERIALS PROVIDED.\n$10 suggested donation\nRSVP and more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/558526684667976/ \nphoto credit: Allan Brown.
