Chris Carlsson is a Renaissance San Franciscan. The Bay Guardian named him a true local hero because of so many vital areas where he puts his visionary thoughts and energies into serious actions for the better of us all. He is an initiator of Critical Mass, he is the heart rate of Counter Pulse, he directs and edits Shaping San Francisco, he has edited four collections of political and historical essays. His most recent book is After The Deluge, a utopian novel of post-economic San Francisco. He was one of the original founders and long-time editor of Processed World magazine. So he's not only really smart and engaging, but he's utterly affable and inspiring.

His new book, Nowtowpia uncovers resistance and rebellion amidst fractions of a slowly recomposing working class in America. Rarely self-identifying as mere ‘workers,’ people from all walks of life are doing incredible amounts of work in their “free” “non-work” time. This unpaid work is creating immediate practical improvements in daily life. More interesting still, these myriad initiatives constitute a more thorough-going refusal of politics and economics as usual.

Outlaw bicycling, urban permaculture, biofuels, free software, even the Burning Man festival, are windows into a scarcely visible social transformation that challenges politics as we know it. People are taking back their time and technological know-how from the market and in small under-the-radar ways, are making life better right now.

Save the Eckert Tolle for later and come see Chris Carlsson now. You'll be happy you did.
Who knows what positive action you take could inspire a critical mass?

CON-X-TREME is volunteer-run animation and all things media convention held this year over the extended Labor Day weekend at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel. The primary area of emphasis is focused on the creation of art and media, traditional and non-traditional, without the limitation of holding true to a certain theme or topic.

While some may view this as simply it is another anime or science fiction convention event, the real opportunities this event brings forward is an opportunity for fans of all mediums to meet and network with both other fans and professionals alike. Whether it be physical art, virtual art, film & television, video games or music, CON-X-TREME attempts to have compelling, knowledgeable, and well-spoken Guests of Honor who are willing to spend time sharing their experiences within their respective industries, mentoring our attendees through discussion panels, classroom instruction, and other programming events.

Throughout each day of the weekend event, CON-X-TREME presents curriculum through a series of classroom programming where event members may participate in the discussion or hands-on study of particular subjects.

CON-X-TREME is not all classrooms, lectures, and study however, as we temper much of the proceeding with many other programming alternatives including, but not limited to, the following:

 A 24-hour anime programming room featuring professional and fan-created animation videos and programs;
 A room dedicated to premiering the latest in console and computer video games and technology;
 Dedicated space for costume gatherings and workshops which will culminate in a full costume contest event;
 Event space which promotes and displays artwork from many of the Bay Area’s most vibrant and popular artists;

All in all, CON-X-TREME aspires to provide opportunities for the truly creative side of fans and professionals to mix freely within an environment which inspires creativity and spontaneity.
