Stay Tuned! For Now...

Stos here. I came across this passage from Emma Goldman's autobiography.  Its the basis for a misquote attributed to her, "if I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution" - but I think the full passage is pretty great: 

"At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha [Alexander Berkman], a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause.

I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business, I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement should not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it.

"I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everyboy's right to beautiful, radiant things."

Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world--prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own comrades I would live my beautiful ideal."  

Emphasis mine :)

KIVA'S FRIDAY THE 13TH @ Coco Lezzone

Kiva aka "Big C Energy" leads Midnight FM's return to Coco Lezzone for a night of great music, and great drinks for our favorite bartender.  

Leave that triskaidekaphobia at home and get down to the sounds of special guests Sneakers in the Dryer and Mark B as they join Kiva and Stos - celebrating the release of his mixtape "Acid Disco Mediterra".  

Coco Lezonne is at 915 15th St. NW - right down town in McPherson Square - accessible by that Blue/Orange/Silver line metro stop as well as right around the corner from Farragut North on the Red Line.  

Music starts at 10 - but shit- you might see Stos there earlier getting his avgolemono fix.
