On Saturday October 20th and Sunday October 21st, Baltimore's Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, DC's Brian Mackenzie Infoshop, and Philly's Wooden Shoe are putting on the second annual Mid-Atlantic Radical Bookfair, this year preceeded by a Radical Film Festival. With over 50 tablers representing many of the best independent left publishing projects active in the U.S. and two days of amazing speakers and workshops, plus films, puppet shows, cheap rental bikes from Velocipede, food by Red Emma's and Baltimore Food Not Bombs!, and a radical Kidz Corner, it should be an amazing weekend.
The Bookfair takes place at 2640, a radical events venue which Red Emma's has been developing this past year in conjunction with Baltimore's St. John's Church, and is free of charge for visitors. (We are asking for a small $5 donation for the film festival to help raise money to pay for the Bookfair.)
