"What are 8 days of anarchy? They are a series of events coordinated around the BASTARD conference of anarchist theory in the San Francisco Bay Area in March." This year's events included: several discussions, an anarchist martial arts seminar, strategy gaming, a movie, a conference, and an all day derive on Friday. On Saturday, people had the opportunity to spend time on the mat in a seminar with Jeff Monson, who is an anarchist Mixed Martial Arts fighter who recently fought for the heavyweight title of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).
