Call for Stencil Designs and Graffiti Art

molotov.gifThe forthcoming fourth issue of our magazine Rolling Thunder will feature a gallery of graffiti photographs and stencil designs ready to cut out and apply. If you have photos of exciting graffiti or stencil designs you would like to share with the world, please email us at rollingthunder@crimethinc.com or mail them to us at Rolling Thunder, P.O. Box 2133, Greensboro, NC 27402. We need the images to be high-resolution—contact us if you have questions about format. Please do make an effort to help us with this if you’re so inclined—vandalism needs you!

Stone Hotel PDF Ready for Action

sh_cover.jpgIn August of 2006, the last copies from the first limited and numbered printing of Stone Hotel were sold. While a reprinting in the future remains a possibility, we’ve decided to make this PDF of the book freely available in the meantime to keep the text in circulation and help promote Raegan’s writing and new book, Rusty String Quartet. We’d like to remind everyone that we think a book of poetry like this one is the best example of why reading books on a computer screen is the worst format possible—it truly cannot be compared with the experience of reading such a finely tailored book in the real world. But alas, Stone Hotel is no longer in print, and this PDF will have to do; we can only hope that after enjoying these poems you will consider getting your hands on Raegan’s finely printed second book, filled with 264 poems in 340 pages, still in its first printing of 2,000 copies.

Seen Any Good Anarchist Films Lately?

As we slowly creep toward a highly anticipated autumn, I am starting to get some new projects lined up, one of which is our next DVD release, to be called, suprisingly, CrimethInc. Guerilla Film Series Volume 2. So far I have a couple films in mind and one or two locked up, but there are still many slots open as I’d like for this to be another two-disc set (or maybe three?). So, I thought I’d ask all of you if you have any recommendations of anarchist films you have seen recently, or even not so recently, that you think are underseen and/or lacking robust distribution (even if a film has been released as its own DVD, let us know about it as it could still be included). Titles and contact information would be appreciated, as well as summaries and why you think they should be included. We are looking for all types of pieces from documentaries both short and feature length, as well as fictional works. Ten years old or unreleased, as long as it is quality and something people need to see, we’re interested.

Leave your suggestions in the comments or email pfm@crimethinc.com. Thanks!
