Last Updated November 4, 8:37 AM ::ROC Protest Against Unfair Employee Treatment at Tony Moran'sThursday, November 5. Tiramisu 55. 7:30PM. FREE. To Everyone Who Came Out Last Thursday - Thank you so much on behalf of ROC NOLA for your support of our second protest against Tony Moran's last Thursday night! If you would like to check out some footage we have from this protest, we're up on youtube here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3DjccLRWbI . We also have footage from the delivery of our demand letter which kicked off this campaign a couple of weeks ago up on youtube, which you can find there - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSsLC0NaYB4. Last week's protest went so well, so we are excited to have just as successful a time with it this coming Thursday! :) So this week's protest is again on Thursday, November 5th @ 8pm. However, we are again asking that people meet before 8pm a few blocks away from the restaurant at the 100 block of Carondelet, just outside of Tiramisu 55 Restaurant. We will also be sending out a schedule of dates by the beginning of next week so that you can know with a little bit more lead time when our upcoming protests are taking place, but our goal is to have one every week (with the exception of holiday weeks) until the owner of Tony Moran's agrees to come to the table. If you are able to make it this week, we definitely look forward to seeing you out there! If you are not able to make it this time, please help us by forwarding this information onto your friends and other possible allies who would want to come support this campaign. Every bit of support helps us get to our end goal, which is winning this campaign and taking a significant step towards improving working conditions for restaurant workers at Tony Moran's and beyond!New Orleans Bookfair Kickoff PartyFriday, November 6.

Psychoanalytic Center. 7:30PM. Slavoj Zizek is probably the most widely read psychoanalytic, political and social philosopher on the planet, according to New Orleans analyst, Molly Rothenberg. He is coming to New Orleans to give a free public lecture at Loyola on November 17th Uses and Misuses of Violence. The center would like to offer an introductory evening to help participants become a bit more familiar with this complex thinkers ideas. We will begin with some introductory remarks and view the film Zizek! and then open the floor to reaction and discussion. David ODonaghue, Psy.D. , who has a background in philosophy and psychoanalysis, will tie some of Zizeks ideas into Hegel and the critical theory of the Frankfort School. The work of French analyst Jacques Lacan, is the foundation for much of Zizeks work and we will make an attempt to grapple with some of his ideas as well. This event is cosponsored by the New Orleans Lyceum. We will be having a follow up discussion of Zizeks lecture immediately following it in Dana Hall on the Loyola campus.TAG | Bhob RaineySaturday, November 14. McKeown's Books. 8PM-10PM. FREE.
