Anarchist Bookfair 2013 October 19th

[Pickman's model]

If you read my comments- I am anything but a troll. You came out all guns blazing with me cos u thought I was and now look at u. Also that is a complete strawman argument as I mentioned Abel Paz's books cause you claimed that I had read half of Homage to Catalunia and was giving my opinion on the Spanish Anarchist movement from that.

for the record have you read all of homage to catalonia?

 

[manny-p]

Lol yep I have.

 

[chilango]

Cheers for that, I'll order a copy forthwith!

Always worth checking yer local charity bookshop too. Someone has dumped a load of their old Anarcho/lefty ones in our local oxfam. Their politics shelf is now dominated by AK Press titles.

 

[barney_pig]

I ll pop in and have a look.

I don't know why you're all liking this...it wasn't me, and they're not AK's best either!

why do you think they were dumped? as someone who gives to ak by standing order i get a copy of all their books, and believe me few of them make their way onto my bookshelves.

20 quid for a copy in (used) good condition is the cheapest I've seen.

Re: Slow Burning Fuse.

Somebody should scan it in and put it on libcom. Not Quail himself. That lazy git is still working on his history of Solidarity.

Half of it has been scanned, according to a previous butcher's post.

We had to get there early this year cos the banner was needed for the stall, so having accomplished that mission plus a quick snoop we went and had breakfast in Spoons before going back. Met the lovely steph and we had a better look round again before back to Spoons with Steph.

The venue was good, much better and bigger with natural light and more rooms. Decent amount of people and smell not too bad Not sure what it'll be like later post rain Good to briefly meet ska invita too

Was good

[tufty79]

[krink]

on twitter they said there was trouble with anon? i just want to know about the fights.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I had a great day. Been going on and off for 25 years now and I reckon this was the best.

On my phone so I won't name check everyone, but top crew basically.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Me and Steph got ninja-flyered by someone from Anonymous. Dunno about anything else.

 

[tufty79]

Freedom used to be controlled by some people who were liberal as fuck and who had dodgy class politics(if any)..

the newspaper? the bookshop? or the publishing house? or the concept in general?

 

[kenny g]

It was good this year. Plenty of new faces and good contributions to discussions.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

missed it again.

as usual

d'oh.

Clocked a load of that earlier. Not just annon apparently. Some very unhappy & pissed off folk.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I was going to go to the meeting about why not to use Prof Harvey's lectures when reading Capital. I assumed it would be a handful of earnest nerds like me and two loons from the ICC.

I couldn't get in the room - it was rammed out with people who looked like they were in their 20s and 30s.

I think that's fantastic.

Been going for years and yet to see a fight, this year included. Who were the unhappy folk?

I'm hearing they put the radical feminism stall next to the sex worker stall. That was clever.

And Assange supporters, recording film of people arguing with them about the rape allegations

there aren't enough facepalms in the world.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

why wouldn't you put the lasses together?

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

sorry frogwoman my phone died, did look round but couldn't find you, looks like you met up with some people though

I did get to meet up with Oxpecker and Sovietpop among others which was cool...

The bookfair did stink to high heaven though, the Wetherspoons was a blessed relief.

 

[tufty79]

you're joking, right?

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

you're joking, right?

of course, fucking hell it's mad!
