Hello Beautiful People!

The Anarchist Bookfair was amazing! We finally go to share space with our sister chapter in HTX and were able to donate the bulk of our sales to the bookfair, hopefully helping them in their momentum to make this an annual event.

For those of you that weren't able to make it out to "Valencia" the Michelle Tea Film Benefit at Chaindrive last Tuesday, it was quite the gala as well. .B.E.T.C.H. was pleased as pie to be there and was able to donate some scratch to the cause. They made over their projected profit and hopefully the segment, coming out (get it?!) in August, has a good footing to put together something amazing. We have no doubts.

Don't forget to give us your zine submissions DUE MAY 22ND (!!!!!). Write, draw, collage, whatever and email, hand over or snail mail 'em in to us. This time we're exploring space. Not outer space, but the space we already occupy and move through everyday. How we are perceived in this space and how we learn to live in it. At home, at work, walking down the street, at parties, at shows, everywhere we are. We want to hear your experiences navigating the space of your life. Being fat, being queer, working in the service industry, as

ladies, as trans people, as people of color, as people working through how we are regarded and treated, working through how we view ourselves. ALL submissions are going to be available online. We are working on getting the first issue online and will let you know where you can view it as soon as we know more details.

.B.E.T.C.H. Rag #1 is currently available at End of an Ear, Domy Books and at any events that we rep. We are in the works with Monkey Wrench Books, other record stores in ATX and Bound Together Books in San Francisco. Keep your eyes peeled for the Rag!

What's the next event we're reppin'? We'll be at the May 1st March for Immigrant's Rights. As you may or may not know, there have been some fucked up laws being signed off on recently (*coughcough*Arizona*cough*) so it's important to show up AT 4PM AT THE CAPITOL TO MARCH TO CITY HALL to show them that we ain't here to mess with no fools. .B.E.T.C.H.s fight back!

We are also holding our open craft night on Monday at 7pm! Let us know if you're interested and we can give you directions! Come stitch n bitch with us.

We will also be representing at the Swallow Art Show opening at Club DeVille Tuesday May 3rd starting at 8pm.

The library is about to close this shit! See you soon <3
