It’s difficult to escape all this social networking stuff. So many people and businesses are on Twitter, we figured we would try it out. Follow us, @redandblackcafe, if you’re interested!
Also: have you been keeping up with all the cool events happening at the cafe? Head on over to the Red and Black Communique page and see what’s happening for the rest of this month.
Hope to see you at the cafe!

You are cordially invited to a screening of “Flag Wars,” this Friday, March 12, at 7pm!
“Flag Wars” is a cinema verite documentary that follows the conflicts that arise when gay white professionals move into a black working-class neighborhood. Filmed over a four years in Columbus, Ohio, “Flag Wars” leads viewers on an eye-opening journey into a divided community.
This film is the third installment in our Monthly Film Series. All the films in the series thus far have been benefits for local organizations. This month, the film is a fundraiser for the Red and Black, which is still struggling financially and could use the support of the community. So please come out and show some support, see a wonderful movie, and enjoy some delicious food and drink!

Just wanted to let you all know that we will be atypically closed two different times this month. The first will be on Saturday March 6th, from 9-11am to host the ZAP Writing Workshop. Please be aware that we will ONLY be closed for these two hours. At 11am, we will open the doors and be operating under our normal schedule.
The second time we will be closed is on Thursday March 18th, ALL DAY. This is for one of our all-day collective meetings that happen quarterly. Sorry for any inconvenience. Besides those two days, our operating schedule is completely normal. Come hang out!
One last thing: The March issue of the Red and Black Communique is now available, both in print and online! Just go to our “Communique” page to see what’s going on this month.

Just a heads up to all of you, this Thursday, January 21, Margaret Killjoy will be at the Red and Black speaking about Anarchism & Fiction. Margaret just published a book through AK Press entitled, Mythmakers and Lawbreakers which consists of interviews with many fiction writers who identify as anarchists and / or explore anarchist themes in their writing.
Also speaking will be the independent zine publisher Artnoose, who has published the personal zine Kerbloom! for years.
It promises to be an amazing night. We hope to see you all there!

They’re listed in the January communique, posted on the internet everywhere, and have flyers for them. But it’s worth giving them their own post – TWO events that you should definitely come to!
AND…
See you there!
The January issue of the Red and Black Cafe Communique is hot off the presses! It will be available at the cafe later today (around 2pm or 3pm).

Looking for a holiday gift for a loved one in your life? Look no further – we now have gift cards available! You can get them in any denomination, and they’re small enough to fit in envelopes and wallets. Not to mention your loved one will probably appreciate the delicious food we have to offer!
Just come on in to the cafe and ask any worker for details. This year, consider giving the gift of revolution!

Just wanted to give you all a heads up that we will not be offering avocados or tomatoes during the winter months. The reason? We want to keep it local! Avocados were coming from Chile, and tomatoes were coming from who knows where. In an effort to keep our business as ethical and local as we can (as well as to keep costs down), we will be changing our menu slightly as the seasons change.
The only menu item 86′ed altogether for winter is the Green Goddess salad. We’ll miss you! In its place is a delicious Roasted Beet Salad, which includes a beet aioli, pecans and three different kinds of roasted beets. Yum! Please look over our menu for other changes and feel free to approach us with any feedback or questions you may have.
In solidarity,
Red and Black Cafe
