Eye’s Peeled for Open Mic

Sunday Feb 1 – 7:00 pm Omni Center IF WEATHER IS WITH US Greetings everybody, I hope you’ve been warm and cozy.  If weather permits, this coming Sunday is time for Open Mic.  Donna is in Hawaii so I’ll be hosting on my own. Feels odd to be without her, but we’ll be fine and have a lot of fun. Watch for a late post if the weather turns. Cold is fine but more of what we’ve had would be trouble … Hope to see you!   7:00 at the Omni Center Kelly


Vigil for Alex Pretti

Sunday, Feb. 1st, 6pm, Veterans Hospital. P.S: VHSO btw, is the Veterans Hospital on North College, It’ll be on the sidewalk in front of the hospital fence. It’ll be cold, but not NEARLY as cold as Minneapolis.

The January assault by U.S. forces on Venezuela is an affront to everything the Omni Center for Peace, Justice, and Ecology stands for.  We are not at war with Venezuela and have no right to sweep down in a violent assault capturing their President and recklessly destabilizing a sovereign country. Furthermore, this action was done without consultation with members of congress, as is required. It was an appalling, illegal, immoral act. This action is unique in our modern history. Not the usual nation building escapade in the name of spreading democracy. This time our administration has made it loud and clear that they were uninterested […]


Collecting scraps of hope to build a future

This clearly shows just how greedy and aberrant the behavior of some of those other guys really is. Please — read the Fortune article here: Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires across […]
