Conference on Venzuela @ Evergreen

For those of you in the Olympia area, you know from say Olympia to, dunnno, NYC, please come to (at least) part of this important, and interesting conference. You can hop from there to the Rob Halpern reading (about a 4 min. walk across Evergreen's campus). A day of important discussions on the sociopolitical dimensions of contemporary Venezuela, then a poetry reading and discussion by a poet whose work is incredibly interested in hearing the logic of war, globalization, desire, need, and want. See you there if I see you that afternoon.
