DESCRIPTION:The Biotechnology Industry already has a huge presence in San Diego, but 
 come June 17-20 they plan on taking over. The Biotech Industry Organization 
 (BIO) will host their international annual convention at the downtown 
 Convention Center on Harbor Dr in San Diego. They will be discussing the 
 usual BIO subjects: how to commodify the world's food production, 
 genetically modify crops to disrupt sustainability, profit from human and 
 non-human animal illnesses and torture, create weapons and the wars to sell 
 their products, spin their unethical choices and buy public officials to 
 fulfill their agenda. Sound like a good time? Well if you have $2300 I 
 encourage you to attend and learn just how they plan to shape our world! 
 But......\n\nIf you don't have that twenty-three hundred laying around to 
 waste on watching scientists and capitalists patting one another on the 
 back speaking of ways to profit from the destruction of nature, visit the 
 free autonomous counter convention in the downtown Children's Park, across 
 the street from the Convention Center, on Thursday, June 19th. From one 
 p.m. to six p.m. you can enjoy the SD weather outside with the community 
 while enjoying free hot meals provided by Food Not Bombs and take some food 
 home to your family, pick up/drop off free goods or donate/take advantage 
 of the free services during the Really (really!) Free Market, learn about 
 and embrace a sustainable future at one of the multiple workshops taking 
 place throughout the day and network with the groups in San Diego that are 
 working to make that future possible. A more informed schedule with 
 workshop listings, speakers, bands and more will be available soon! If you
