EVENT CANCELLED! UPDATE YOUR RSVP NOW... WE'RE SEEING "THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS" INSTEAD. CLICK HERE TO RSVP! While I have absolute respect for The Yes Men, their PR team isn't terribly organized. They've been promoting a Pasadena opening this weekend for about a month, but as it turns out... it's not showing this weekend. I'll reschedule when a solid screening date becomes available. -------------------- The Yes Men are outrageous, socially conscious pranksters! A group of culture jamming activists who practice what they call "identity correction." They pretend to represent major corporations, get themselves invited to appear at conferences, symposia, and TV shows, then make shocking statements on behalf of those corporations... and now they have a new movie, "The Yes Men Fix The World." "The Yes Men Fix The World" has opened to rave reviews around the world. Here's what's being said about the movie; "Outrageously entertaining....This "Great fun! It takes some nerve, not to mention diabolical intelligence... to pull off the elaborate pranks devised by the Yes Men." New York Times "A hilarious movie.... Even if you don't agree with the Yes Men's political agenda, you'll get a big kick out of this movie." New York Post "It shines with raw wit and originality." Newsweek "The Yes Men have pulled off another coup." Village Voice "This is the year's top documentary film." New Scientist "Comedic vigilante justice
Media-savvy pie-to-the-face." "A riotous reminder that patriotism is often misconstrued as troublemaking." "One of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and two of the ballsiest guys I've ever met. Thank God for the Yes Men." Morgan Spurlock, director of Supersize Me "Hilarious, therapeutic, inspiring. The Yes Men are geniuses." Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and No Logo The thinking-person' They passed out 80,000 copies of a fake edition of the New York Times with headlines such as "Iraq War Ends" and "Climate Crisis Fixed". ( Video ) Representing Dow Chemicals on BBC News they accepted blame for the Bhopal chemical disaster which killed thousands and left over 120,000 requiring lifelong care. ( Video ) Representing Exxon Mobile they announced a new energy source, Vivoleum, the flesh of an "Exxon janitor" who died as a result of cleaning up a toxic spill.

What's LA Green Drinks? It's a gathering of like minded eco-friendlies who chat about the environment over drinks. An open social group where learning, laughing and sharing info about the environment is topic #1. There are 6 Green Drink events in Los Angeles. This one takes place in Pasadena the second Wednesday of every month. Green Drinks opened a Pasadena chapter in August and are already getting roughly 25 people per event. While the group is open to everyone, I've found most who attend are in their 20's to 30's. I dropped by last month's gathering... it was a lot of fun. Drinking begins at 7pm and ends at 10pm. Must be 21+ years of age. $5 suggested donation + the cost of drinks. The Heritage Wine Company's beautiful store and wine bar is located near Memorial Park. A selection of local wines will be on offer, and the hors-d'oeuvres menu looks delicious! LA Green Drinks website: http://lagreendrinks |
