DESCRIPTION:  Join us this Thursday for this special event opposing restrictive laws:  
 Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In Presents  The First Annual  FLIM-FLAM FILM 
 FEST  a celebration of repressive laws  8:15pm Thursday April 13th  at the 
 Cedar Street Garage  (at the corner of Cedar and Church)  An evening of 
 good, informative, entertaining, indignant, funny, and inspiring short 
 films dealing with repressive laws locally and elsewhere, as well as 
 resistance to oppressive laws, including direct action and street 
 resistance.  Stories will be read, passionate speeches will be made.  Let's 
 talk about resistance to more lousy laws.  It will be an evening of 
 entertainment and information.  Not yet run up against the restrictive 
 rules in our cozy little laid-back liberal town?  I guess you weren't 
 caught sitting, sleeping, blanket-having, loitering, smoking, panhandling, 
 camping, street performing, food-serving, parking lot lingering, chalking, 
 bubble-blowing, hacky-sacking, or juggling downtown, because all these 
 activities face Draconian restrictions by local ordinance.  Almost every 
 inch of public space in town has been restricted and regulated, closed 
 after dark, privatized, or fenced in.  The latest laws being considered are 
 intended to roust the skaters, the downtrodden, the loiters, and the 
 n'er-do-wells from the city's public parking lots.  Just part of a 10-year 
 Santa Cruz effort to privatize public space, to sanitize street life, to 
 sweep the undesirables, the homeless, the unbalanced, the difficult 
 challenges of society away.  If you aren't spending money downtown, get the 
 hell out.  These very business-friendly policies, are certainly not people 
 friendly.  (Do be sure to thank County Supervisor candidate Neal Coonerty 
 who kicked off the ever more restrictive downtown ordinances in '94 when 
 you see him campaigning.)  In the local political realm, the "15 Minute and 
 Get Out" law restricting city parking lot use will be considered at the 
 Tuesday April 11th City Council Meeting at 7pm.  Be sure and be there to 
 tell the city council that we don't need any more laws to push around the 
 undesirables.  They'll vote over your objections, of course, but be there 
 anyway.  Rico  \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/04/11/94503.php
