On Friday, September 11th, join the Olympic Resistance Network for a  
Media Bash! The party will start at 8pm and go till late at 706 Clark  
Drive in Vancouver. It’s a night of music, film, food and more in an  
effort to fund grassroots media resistance.

ORN-Media is a forum for help and discussion for media makers  
committed to radical, independent media. We help you create, edit,  
research and publish your media. We work to put the eyes on the street  
for the people on the street. We are trying to raise funds to equip  
our media ninjas with some basic gear before the games.


FILMS

Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad: a film about resistance and alternative  
media in Oaxaca, Mexico during the uprising of 2006. “When the people  
of Oaxaca decided they’d had enough of bad government, they didn’t  
take their story to the media…they TOOK the media.” Director Jill  
Irene Freidberg will personally be in attendance for a Q&A session.

Resist 2010: a piece by BurningFist Media and no2010.com that  
documents 8 vital reasons to resist the Olympics.


MUSIC

Salvadorean rocker Alex Rambaud and Canadian musician Mark Penner will  
provide acoustic guitar tunes and take you on a journey of worldwide  
resistance.

DJ UsdNeedls will be mixing a selection of hip-hop tracks well into  
the night.

Alex Rambaud, (Black Mona Lisa, DLP, Circle´s Edge) has spent his life  
bouncing from Europe and Central America, to the US and now Canada. He  
has explored different genres of music from Punk to World Music, which  
has provided him with a unique style when it comes to song writing.  
The subject of his songs range from talking about the hardships of the  
Central American poor and the endless conflict in that part of the  
world, to the harsh reality of life for the homeless in modern western  
cities of the developed world.

Mark Penner is a Canadian musician and filmmaker who has been rocking  
it out for the better part of the last 15 years. He’s been playing  
numerous forms of music in several bands over the years, ranging from  
recording in Kenya, playing shows in Mexico, and several gigs across  
Canada. Percussive based rhythm guitar, and soulful solos are  
trademarks of his ecclectic sound, which has been refined over years  
of traveling and jamming. Mark’s songwriting is sometimes funky,  
sometimes funny, and often rings true Canadiana.

You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own  
everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the  
corporations. They’ve got the judges in their back pockets. And they  
own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all  
of the news and information you hear. They’ve got you by the balls.  
They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.  
They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of  
critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help  
them. That’s against their interests.

- The late but always great George Carlin

So fight the owners. Join ORN-Media on Sept. 11 2009 @ 706 Clark Drive  
for a night of music, film, food and more in an effort to fund  
grassroots media resistance.

Can’t make the event, but want to join or help out with the media  
crew? Attend our weekly meetings @ 6.30pm Wednesdays located at 6 E  
Hastings.
