# A reading of Karen Macklin's Mr. President Thu July 29 8 PM don sug
Karen Macklin’s play, Mr. President, starts off as a seemingly absurd
comedy about a dysfunctional family in Tallahassee during the time of a
major presidential election. But when a cat becomes president of the
United States, strange things start to happen, and it quickly turns
into a dark and perilous journey that examines our social and political
world through the eyes of two children who come to represent the
conflicting forces of nature. Off-Market Studio 965 Mission @ 5 St

Come and create a powerful space for women to celebrate the gift of our
monthly flow and the transformations we experience as this
expression of female. Men, we want you there too!
Through ritual we will connect to the moon and blood cycles, evoking
the power of the spiritual and pchycic energies, and blessing the tent
and all who enter it.
We will release negative/disempowering beliefs experiences around the
feminine cycles
and create what we want for ourselves and as community, and everyone can
openly contribute and be engaged in looking deeper into how the
feminine and
moon cycles have affected our lives and what becomes available for in
connecting with this energy in a conscious way!
Imagine, connecting to your mothers and grandmothers once again.
Imagine feeling the pull of the moon on our bodies, shaping the
earth.  What would your life look like if men, women and families
were supportive and celebrating a woman's monthly flow as sacred?
What would that be like for women?  For community?
This is a totally fun, awesome experiment that takes the intention
of the community to create something very simple and beautiful in
the world! July 31st 7 - 10pm 2428 9th st Berkeley     94710

# Cinemasports Sun Aug 1 9a-10pm Free iron chef of filmmaking.
Each cinemasports day starts with the announcement of "ingredients".
Teams have 10 hours to complete a movie with those ingredients.
Screening of finished movies starts on the 11th hour - that very night.
For Example, can different teams make a 4 minute movie during daylight
hours that includes an onion, an English teacher, and a tattoo parlor?
We explore how the same ingredients inspire different creative minds.
That evening's screening parades raw creativity by different filmmakers
interpreting the same constraints. The results prove entertainingly
similar and inspiringly different.

# Thu Aug 19 Who Owns Water? Protecting the World's Water
from Corporate Takeover http://www.citizen.org / water
Fortune magazine has predicted that "water is the oil of the 21
century," and now corporations are rushing to invest in the new
get-rich economy of water. Giant water, energy, food, and shipping
companies have plans to buy water rights, privatize publicly-owned
water systems, promote bottled water, and sell "bulk" water by
transporting it from water rich areas to thirsty markets. As the
world's water becomes scarcer and corporations seek to exploit this
scarcity for profit, people around the world are losing ownership and
control of water resources on which they depend. But water is a human
right; to the extent one has the right to live, one has the right to
water.
Join us for a discussion with Juliette Beck and John Gibler of Public
Citizen's Water for All Campaign. Public Citizen's Water for All
Campaign is dedicated to protecting water as a common resource,
stopping water privatization and bulk water sales, and defending
access to clean and affordable water around the world. Come hear how
people in California and around the world - from Stockton and Gualala
to Bolivia and Bangladesh - are defending the global commons and our
right to water, and find out how you can help. 7 pm - 9 pm
