RESIST AND EXIST 1996
|
|
June 26-30 1996
|
|
Eugene, Oregon
|
|
|
|
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT: Resist and Exist is intended to be a large,
|
|
eclectic gathering of punks and activists from all different "scenes" and
|
|
walks of life. The focus of this gathering is on unifying the punk and
|
|
anarchist
|
|
community for positive change through music, cooperation, and activism.
|
|
|
|
THIS IS NOT A DRUNKEN CHAOS FEST!!!!!
|
|
|
|
As with any other anarchist/anti-authoritarian functions, the law is going
|
|
to be breathing down our necks and going out of their way to find the
|
|
smallest justification for shutting us down. Please be respectful and
|
|
keep your alcohol, drugs, and violence away from our activities.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
there are probably 15 more I spaced, but you get the basic jist of it.
|
|
|
|
We also have workshops planned on subjects like Central american
|
|
Solidarity, Prison support, scams, EARTH FIRST!, The Chiapas Rebellion,
|
|
pressing records, silkscreening, stenciling, Food Not Bombs, pirate
|
|
radio, active resistance, veganism, copwatch, bike repair, internet
|
|
literacy, first aid, cultural defense, squatting, cheap travel, radical
|
|
resistance, homebrewing, and whatever else anyone wants to bring up at
|
|
the time...
|
|
|
|
|
|
There will also be men's and women's groups, as well as daily anarchist
|
|
discussion groups. Of course there will also be mass "shopping sprees",
|
|
punk soccer games, picnics, swimming, parties, and other fun things to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The gathering itself is totally free, although many of the shows will
|
|
have door prices to cover expenses(never more than $5, usually $2) and it
|
|
is entirely all ages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are suggesting that interested folks apply for food stamps here.
|
|
Besides needing only two pieces of id, you can get them in three days.
|
|
They are legal tender most everywhere in the city and come highly
|
|
reccomended by the locals.
|
|
|
|
Because of the size of Resist and Exist in relation to the city, housing
|
|
for everyone will be next to impossible to provide for everyone. However,
|
|
cheap motels and good places to camp abound, and, in addition, there
|
|
should be a tent city/@-zone established by the time R and E actually
|
|
rolls around. also, one of the wings of Eugene FNB has a big farm out in
|
|
the woods 30 miles south of town and they are more than willing to let
|
|
people stay out there.
|
|
|
|
WHAT TO BRING: Sleeping bag, other camping stuff you may want, records,
|
|
zines, patches, a bowl and spoon, t-shirts to screen on, your friends,
|
|
stencils, spray paint, a good attitude, screens, a big smile, books,and
|
|
whatever else you think you might possibly need. We are also in desperate
|
|
need of additional foodstuffs(rice, beans, produce, grains, etc) to feed
|
|
everyone, so any donations would be much appreciated.
|
|
|
|
HOW TO GET HERE:Eugene is right on I-5, smack dab an hour from the
|
|
Pacific and an hour from the mountains, easily accessible by car, bus,
|
|
train, or plane. Take exit 194-B off the 5. Then exit at Exit two,
|
|
following the signs to "downtown/U of O". Then exit at the 99W exit(which
|
|
will say "downtown/hult center". This will be 6th Ave. Take 6th about 13
|
|
blocks down to Blair Blvd and take a right(there's a 7-11 on the corner
|
|
of 6th and Blair). Three blocks down Blair on your left is Icky's
|
|
Teahouse, the central venue for the gathering. If you get lost, call
|
|
345-3019 for directions
|
|
|
|
OTHER THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW:
|
|
|
|
Oregon is one of the biggest environmental hotspots in the country, and
|
|
consequently, we have a very well developed Earth First! that would be
|
|
more than happy to have more people involved in their direct actions
|
|
against big corporations' attempts to rape the last stands of old growth
|
|
we have in this nation. If hanging out in the woods and smashing the
|
|
state and corporate rule sounds fun, there are daily shuttles up to the
|
|
action.
|
|
|
|
Please be respectful to the locals. Most of the people in the
|
|
neighborhood where this is gonna be held are poor, working class, and
|
|
generally super nice. If you want to get drunk and smash shit, do it
|
|
somewhere else(any local can point you in the right direction).
|
|
|
|
Please keep booze well away from our shows, 'cause one beer inside or in
|
|
the parking lot can get our venues shut down permanently. We will not
|
|
tolerate irresponsibility that threatens the viability of this gathering.
|
|
|
|
Please be nice and respectful to the people around you, 'cause we're all
|
|
here for the same reasons. If you wanna be a macho drunk fuck,
|
|
Lollapalloza is only a few hours away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We always need help cooking, serving, and cleaning for Food Not Bombs.
|
|
Just ask us at the servings what you can do...
|
|
|
|
Hope to see you all in June!!!
