DESCRIPTION:This is day six of 8 days of Anarchy.\n\nSEVENTH ANNUAL BASTARD ANARCHIST 
 THEORY CONFERENCE, SUNDAY MARCH 18th, 2007 \nCome to the longest-running US 
 anarchist theory conference! This year we will present workshops by—among 
 others—Professor of Art History Allan Antliff; authors Shon Macfessel 
 (Shuffled How It Gush) and Wolfi Landstreicher; Cindy Milstein. The 
 conference will take place at Dwinelle Hall on the UC Berkeley Campus on 
 Sunday, March 18, 2007, from 9:30am - 6pm. \nWe are proud to host UFC 
 fighter Jeff Munson and ex-Black Panther Ashanti Allston as keynote 
 speakers.\nJoin our (non)trivia contest and amaze your friends with your 
 encyclopedic knowledge! See our website (www.sfbay-anarchists.org) for 
 contest rules.\nThe BASTARD conference promotes the understanding that 
 there are multiple valid approaches to anarchism, each of which has points 
 that are worth examining. Please come and share your approach.\nParticipate 
 in a commerce-free event with other anarchists who are interested in the 
 theory and philosophy of where we've come from, where we are, and where 
 we're going. \nSliding scale donation. Wheelchair accessible.\n\n\nSelected 
 bios:\nAshanti Alston —former member of the Black Panther Party and 
 ex-political prisoner. He is a board member of the Institute for Anarchist 
 Studies and publishes the zine Anarchist Panther. He has been a guest 
 lecturer at the Institute for Social Ecology in Vermont—speaking on the 
 Panthers and the history of Black Nationalist movements. He recently spent 
 six months in Chiapas studying the autonomous structure of Zapatista 
 communities and writing his memoirs. He resides in New York, where he 
 served as the regional coordinator for Critical Resistance, a national 
 organization committed to ending the Prison-Industrial Complex.\n\nCindy 
 Milstein —co-organizer of the Renewing the Anarchist Tradition 
 conference, a board member with the Institute for Anarchist Studies, and a 
 member of Free Society Collective and Black Sheep Books collective in 
 Montpelier, Vermont. Her work appears in anti-authoritarian periodicals and 
 several recent anthologies, including “Globalize Liberation” (City 
 Lights Books), “Confronting Capitalism” (Soft Skull Press), and “Only 
 a Beginning” (Arsenal Pulp Press).\nJeff Monson — world renowned 
 submission wrestler and multiple winner of the Abu-Dhabi Combat Club 
 Submission Wrestling World Championship. He is also a mixed martial arts 
 fighter with a record of 22 wins and 6 losses, as well as a professional 
 boxing record of two wins and one draw. Monson is also known for his 
 political views and affiliations: "I am an anarchist, someone who would 
 like to do away with all class hierarchy in society and the institutions 
 that promote this inequality." Whenever he fights, his anarchist tattoos 
 and patches publicize his beliefs. Monson is a member of the Industrial 
 Workers of the World. Before focusing on his fighting career, he worked as 
 a mental health professional, both in a crisis evaluation role and as a 
 child/family counselor.\n\nBASTARD is an ad hoc group that has grown out of 
 the Anarchist Study Group, which meets every Tuesday night at 8pm at the 
 Long Haul in Berkeley. We read and discuss essays and books and watch 
 videos of relevance to anarchist theory and history. We're currently 
 reading Stirner's The Ego and Its Own.\n\n
