just when you thought it was safe!!

the co-ed fight club for girls return (again) to e&o monday, june 9th, 8pm-12am for yet another brutal night of biceps, bruises and beer. i’m pretty sure there’ll be free food, new faces, ridonk sweatsuits, and possibly the world premiere of CFCFG’s very own potentially embarrassing/undoubtedly outrageous dance party workout music video party party party dance video.

Every month the printshop has classes, but most months I forget to post them on the Dose, which is entirely foolish.
FORTUNATELY, this month (the good month of June), i remembered! but enough about me. let’s talk about YOU (and your post-accredited pseudo-underground alternative learning experience). (more…)

Shhh….don’t tell Gov. Carcieri but: La copa de futbol de Ingles en Accion es este sabado, 10 de mayo.

The all-day festival starts at 9am, and features 10 soccer teams playing for the cup, food and art from more than 10 different countries, the What Cheer? Brigade and other musical acts, kids’ activities, and even a mini-health fair!

As they say, come for the soccer– stay for the mini-health fair.

The EFA Cup will be at Donigian Park on Valley Street in Olneyville. All are welcome to play or watch…if you can pull yourself away from the mini-health fair!

Well! Classes for February filled up so fast I didn’t really have time to post the schedule, but March is well on it’s way and there’s still room in most of the classes!! I’m only going to post the classes that have space left, but you can see what you’re missing out on in the calendar. Also, there is now a $10 general shop materials fee included in the cost of the classes. Regardless of the fee, some outside supplies may be required. Our official site is here. Myspace here.

Are you ready? Onward, friends! (more…)

Throw a better pool party!!!! We could’ve had a more fun time at Mirabar on any random Tuesday night. In fact, we did — this week.

And is music too much to ask for? Even some ABBA would’ve sufficed — certainly better than the argon buzz of the GTECH logo that loomed over the ‘festivities.’

BAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This email landed in our inbox this morning, and since I am facing an indefinite stint of unemployment beginning tomorrow, this seems like a very lucrative opportunity to make some money while securing some valuable contacts within the European banking community. Who’s with me?

“Hello, It gives me a great deal of pleasure to write you this mail and even when it might come to you as a surprise, I hope you find it of interest. Let me first introduce myself. My name is David Timms. I am an Executive Auditor with a Bank here in Europe, I would like to use this means to ask your assistance in moving some fund over to your country.

I’m not an expert, I just drink a lot.An aperitif, or topped off with orange juice in the morning. Engagements, weddings, divorces, graduations, pay raises or lay-offs. We’ve always found reasons to drink champagne.

Now, I drink champagne as often as possible and for no occasion at all, but there is one day of the year when popping a bottle is de rigueur. New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to figure out how to open a bottle without taking out your best friend’s eye, and then let the bubbles go straight to your head.

While it’s easy to find a delicious bottle of non-fizzy wine for under $10, what we think of as the really good champagne costs upwards of $35. Andre is a super-cheap solution to expensive sparkling wine, and it’s quite drinkable for $4, but you can avoid the initial wincing of the first sip and the unfortunate hangover for just a few more dollars.

DECEMBER 2007!!! The brutal month before JANUARY 2008, horrifying!!!!! The print shop still breathes, heavy, thirsting for new friends and classmates. Clawing through the ink-soaked rags of downtown Providence, drooling education and reeking of a strange allure, a distorted, musky scent, familiar and yet distant, the indescribable waft of learning and fun, disgusting yet delicious. What fate will the print shop hold?? What crusty tears have dried on thine eyes of lead?
Located at 95 Mathewson street, two floors above the darkened hallows of Local 121 in the castle Dreyfus, the print shop lays in patient wait. Wait for what? For WHOM? Only time will tell. (more…)
