The 2006 Mid-Atlantic Radical Bookfair will take place from June 30 - July 2 in Baltimore, Mayland.

This is a bit off-topic for the comment, but I just found your blog and find it very interesting, and I was wondering if you have heard of MIM (Maoist Internaltional Movement.) Website is at http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/. I think you may find it interesting, especially the difference between it and the RCP (us or canadian one) which mainly involves the theory of the labour aristocracy in imperialist countries.
