We have a winner




Our grand prize winner, Mark Stevens, came in Thursday to have a bite and pick up his print (see the photos). He was quite excited and agreed to pose for our blog. One of our new books, Gallop, has been galloping out the door, as it is a state of the art picture book with moving images that intrigues adults and children alike. We have new books arriving nearly daily, and special orders have been picking up as well.


We received a new shipment of posters and bumper stickers that is quickly being depleted with more on order.


Exciting news! We are kicking off our musical calendar with an embarrassment of riches. We have three live performances in early February. The first is Harry Stamper (Saturday Feb 2 - 2:00 pm) whose songs have been encouraging peace and justice ala Seeger and Guthrie for more than 30 years. “Songs really, really matter,” says Stamper who can even make folks laugh at songs about LNG. Suggested donation is $5 - $15. CDs will be available.


In the same vein, we're presenting Chris Chandler (Tuesday Feb 5 - 7:00 pm). who hails from the Washington DC area and will be working with Seattle guitarist Paul Benoit. Chandler promises his show will be "funny, community peace and justice oriented". Suggested donation is $10. CDs will be available.


Third, we have John Flynn (Friday Feb 8 - 7:00 pm), a politically conscious singer/songwriter making his first visit to Oregon. Shortly after his visit to Oregon, John will be appearing on a panel with former Attorney General Janet Reno talking about the power of music to affect social justice. Later, John and/or his music will be featured on two documentaries - one about the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the other about the world problem of pediatric AIDS/HIV. Suggested donation is $7. CDs will be available.


We're pleased to kick off our performance calendar with three such strong performers. Remember, the entire door goes to the artist. Let's keep the music alive!
