[Peace-discuss] Join the U-C IMC Jan. 18th for our 2nd anniversary

[Jason Pitzl-Waters]

Its time to celebrate!

Over the past two years, the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center has 
grown from an idea in the minds of a handful of individuals to an 
organization that enriches our community with locally-produced radio news, 
a daily updated website, a reference library, a monthly newspaper, an art 
gallery, several meeting spaces and a performance space that has hosted 
hundreds of musical shows.  The UC-IMC has been an outgrowth of the 
vibrancy and passion of our diverse community and it continues to grow and 
change with our community.

Come take a look at what has been built and is being built as we party the 
night away with spirits, food, art, music and good company!

* We'll kick the evening off at 6pm at the UC-IMC community center with 
food, drink and conversation.  Don't be late!

* At 7pm the Middle Room Gallery, housed within the community center, will 
kick off its art opening for 'Drawing Resistance' a traveling political art 
show. Drawing Resistance is a show of two dimensional artwork by 31 
artist/activists from North America. The content-based show speaks to 
subject matter vital to understanding the world today, including the 
anti-globalization movement, working class rights, the destruction of the 
environment, corporate control, police brutality, homelessness, 
gentrification and the Zapatista liberation movement in Mexico.

* And don't forget to join us at 8pm in the rear performance space for some 
great, local music! Featuring local pop-punk bands Missing the Point, 
Grounded and Sincerely Calvin. $5 cover charge.

All are welcome, come check out what the your local IMC is all about!  Now 
is a great time to explore and find out how you can become a part of this 
growing force in your community.
