Subject: Help Defend Besieged Squat! (Dos Blocos)


i got this message too late to send it out, but they still need dry veggie
foodstuffs (peanut butter, otameal,cookies, cakes, dry fruit roll, sugar, 
spices, salt, tomato sauce, pasta, rice, beans, canned veggie soups,
applesauce,figs, pesto, humus, miso, etc),
flashlights, blankets, bottled fruit juices, vitamins, batteries, dog
food, cat food, 
bottled water etc.

drop the stuff off at blackout books (50 avenue B which is on avenue B
b/n 4th & 3rd Streets in Manhattan just southeast of Tompkins Square
park) and mark it "foor dos blocos siege"
or walk it over to dos blocos and hand it personally to "jimmy the greek"
or bill brown and mark it "for the siege".

if you don't know the person at dos blocos, leave it at blackout books who
will make sure it gets to the responsible people.

the new date for the siege might be april 12th. a court hearing at housing
court is for then and all polite people who would like to pack the
courtroom are invited to attend.

again, this is just based on voices in my head, so please do not hold me
legally responsible for any and all bottles of fruit juices or doggie
foodstuffs that get misappropriated....gulp, swizzle, swallow, belch!

to keep up with the events about dos blocos, please call 1212-592-3039
early and often.
