Mad Hatters IMC moving
The Mad Hatters Independent Media Center and the Infoshop moved out of its space at 218 White Street in Danbury, Connecticut to save on rent money so they can publish their local paper, The Hat City Free Press, more often. They’re looking for a new, cheaper space and they’re still meeting every week. They have a 1,500 book lending library, an 800 video library, progressive publications and zines and a computer center. Contact them at 203-730-9397 or www.madhattersimc.org.
Places That Might Be Dead Or Have Moved:
* The Nevada County Peace & Justice Center in Grass Valley, California has either moved or closed. We got mail sent to them returned and their phone number is disconnected.
* The Wooden Spoon in Ann Arbor Michigan appears to be gone – we got mail returned and their phone # is disconnected. Let us know if they still exist.
* We got a package returned from Community Arts & Media Project in St. Louis but perhaps it was addressed wrong. Try 3022 A Cherokee St. St. Louis, MO 63118 instead of the address listed in the Organizer.
