One In One - meet up
Thanks to the guys from the men’s workshops who came along and attended our meet up last night at the Lord John* pub in Stroud - it was cool hanging out with you guys. (*Click and read some of the reviews - hilarious).
Good to see some old faces back too. Beer was only £1.79 a pint too, unlike the rip off hipster place down the street at £6.50!
We had a memorable night here back in March 2020 with Hock, Keith, Don and Steve about 2 days before the madness started - Hock made the last plane back to Dallas - just - before they grounded all US flights.
These meet ups will be a regular thing and open to students and journal readers. If you missed this one, drop me a line and come along to the next night at the end of November, it’ll be good to have you with us.
Next men’s survival fighting workshop: this Tuesday 29th Oct. (Click for venue listing)

CAN: Ballad of a Phentland Superman
WELCOME TO PHENTLAND:
A high-speed zombie landscape populated by the unemployed, unpersoned “Slows”: doomed souls preyed upon by the chemically adapted “Highs” as well as cops, politicians, corporations…
Enter Can, a traditional urban crackhead from Wilmington, Delaware who finds the key to unlocking the superpowers of humanity, in The Name of God, on behalf of the sheepish Slows, through back alley chemistry...
The mystery of Can’s origin and the meaning of his name are explored through investigative interviews with those whom he has saved...
From cult author James LaFond comes this satirical tale of the inner demon-haunted wilderness of postmodern Murica.
Includes the author's introduction "Writing 'CAN'" and the addendum essay "My Friend" a hilarious depiction of the madness that is the unreported modern America.
