Here's the deal, kiddos. There's a big May Day Celebration going on at Detroit's very own infoshop (No Borders, formerly known as Idle Kids). It's a place where we can all get together and have some fun. I know that at least two or three of you in the guild are also from Michigan, so you should be there. If you need a ride, I'll happily volunteer to do the honors.

~Erik

Detroiters: PM me if you plan on going, or need a ride or anything. I promise I won't try to molest you or anything

Everyone else: What are you doing this May Day?

explain the significance of may day please?
PostPosted: Wed Apr 27, 2005 8:09 pm


May day is the international worker's day. It's the day to celebrate and be in solidarity with workers and let labor issues take center stage. It's history goes back to the haymarket riot in 1886(? i think that's the date) there was a labor protest and someone threw a bomb(some think it was an agent provocatuer, a cop stirring up s**t) and killed a cop and injured some people. Immediatley after there was a huge scare and the cops arrested 8 anarchists and tried them without any evidence and convicted them to death. I think it was 5 that were hanged? and the rest got life. Those that survived were eventually pardoned. These individuals are now called the haymarket martyrs.Course the only people that talk about the haymarket part of may day are the anarchists, but it's still an important day since it's the day were we celebrate the workers of the world and their struggle.

It's also Beltane if your into pagan religions.

His link worked for me, but it took a few seconds to load because it's a .pdf file.

Try here:

And for the love of Christ Kenny, call off work and get drunk.
