Subject: Pauper's update


I had set May 1 as a personal deadline to make some decisions about my
future and the future of Pauper's Books. I'm afraid the right decision has
been staring me in the face for a long time. I intend to wrap up my
involvement with the store and the town of Bowling Green within the next
year. Hopefully, it will be possible to work things so that there will
still be an independent bookstore in town - i'm talking to a couple of
prospective buyers - but, unfortunately, it's not likely that either the
anarchist focus or the space set aside for music and cultural work will
survive the transition. AKA Bookish Publications and a revamped Libertatia
Recordings will carry on, wherever i end up. Actually, in the midst of the
general disaster, Libertatia is releasing two new discs this week, and EP
by Streamlined and an ambient/noise disc by Guinea Pig Fleet called
"Nagasaki." I'm hoping the next twelve months will give me a chance to
wrap up some projects and collaborations and leave on a more positive
note. And the move ought to give me a chance to be more involved again in
a number of online projects that have had to take a backseat to the
bookstore. 

Thanks to everyone who has given moral or material support.
