George Carlin night and immigration

The Visitor attracted one of the biggest crowds I've had for Liberty Brew & View. Close to 70 people showed up in large part due to the Springfield ACLU and Central Illinois IMAGE Inc inviting their members.

Most of the crowd stayed to hear Shelly Heideman speak along with two immigrants working in Beardstown. She invited everyone to attend a prayer vigil.

Please attend a prayer vigil to stop ICE raids and arrests of immigrant people. Join others from across the nation who will be praying on this date for an end to ICE enforcement tactics.

We will meet at the Springfield ICE office, 2861 Stanton, on Wednesday, Jan. 21, from 5:30-6:00 p.m. For more information, contact Gamaliel of Springfield/Beardstown – 217-626-1004

Bring a candle and a sign, (such as STOP ICE RAIDS. STOP TEARING FAMLIIES APART).

I found this page about the national day of action.

February 17
The votes are in and February will be George Carlin night. I'll pick one of his newer and older stand up acts to celebrate his life and cynic's wit. As usual it's starts at 7:00pm at Capital City Bar & Grill.

March 17 will be the new documentary about a returned Iraq vet, Body of War.
