Friday nights in September, our whole little complex will be open late. Rather than closing at 6 as we usually do, Treasure City will be open till 9, and Yellowbike will have shop hours from 6-9. There will also be a movie in the parking lot each week starting at dark (around 9pm), so plan on spending your Fridays with us for shopping, mechanics, and entertainment all in one convenient location.

Sure, any store will give you a plastic shopping bag to add to the islands of trash at sea, but on free bag days, we’ll give you a purse, shoulder bag, or even suitcase of your choice with the purchase of any 3 items. A few extremely valuable bags may be excluded from this offer.

Monkeywrench Books presents a movie with discussion afterward:
Argentina: Hope in Hard Times gives us a broader picture of what the New Politics and the New Economics looked like in Argentina during the economic collapse. Dworkin and Young show us not only workers running abandoned factories, but also unemployed workers building new communities on the outskirts of town, garbage-sifting cartoneros (cardboard recyclers) forming organizational alliances with the middle class, and unemployed urban professionals creating their own barter economy. The film also weaves in the historical importance of the “change of heart” that followed the Argentinazo, when people woke up, at least momentarily, from the fear and divisions that had been instilled in them during the military dictatorship, and looked to each other for solidarity and support.
