Eastside Alchemy is an artists collective of the philosophy to assist
artists in their work.  EA believes that events should include community
organizers by providing free space for promotion of events, projects and
ideas.  EA believes that these events be accessible to all.  EA believes
that children should be included in a meaningful way.  EA believes that food
is an essential component of the event.

2. YALE CANCELS JOHN GRAHAM BENEFIT

Perhaps it is only a wild rumour but the word on the street is that the
John Graham Benefit at the Yale was cancelled due to theatening phone
calls.  The show was slated for April 28th and was to feature Manik, Joey
Only, Andy Mason and the Tricksters and more.  I encourage everyone to
call the Yale and show their dissaproval with such a low and cowardly act.
 Support John Graham and his fight against extradition to the US
