HAPPY DECEMBER 15th! May this holiday email from our family to yours
find you healthy, happy, and eager for endless adventure.

* Benefit parties for Critical Art Ensemble, Jan. 11
* Wicked Witch defeated - celebrate in DC, Jan. 15-20
* WMDs found on US TV

* Our book is fun to read, and makes a pretty nice gift for Xmas or,

HOLD A FUNDRAISER FOR THE CRITICAL ART ENSEMBLE

In a crucial test of academic and creative freedom in the US, Steve
Kurtz of the Critical Art Ensemble is facing criminal charges for
making art that takes on US government policies (see
http://www.caedefensefund.org/).

Defending yourself is costly in the US, even when the case is absurd,
and Steve will end up needing at least $150,000, of which about
$50,000 has already been raised. A number of fundraisers are being
planned for Jan. 11, the next hearing in the case; if you are
interested in holding one too, or helping out with one that's already
planned, please contact mailto:fundraisers@caedefensefund.org.
To donate now, visit http://www.caedefensefund.org/donate.html.

(Also, the Yes Men are selling signed copies of their book for $20,
of which all profits will go to the Fund. Please visit
http://www.theyesmen.org/store/#book to order.)

YES BUSH CAN BUS TOUR A SMASHING SUCCESS

The Yes Men are beside themselves with glee at having contributed to the
massive rout of ex-"President" Bush on November 2.

Pretending to be official Bush campaigners, they stumped around the
country for the two months preceding the election in an
ass-kicking, fully USA-built, exceedingly trustworthy Bushmobile.
After Bush was so resoundingly defeated in the Nov. 2 landslide, they
and the many who helped them breathed a great big collective sigh of
relief.

To celebrate the inauguration of John Kerry, please come to
Washington, DC, January 15-20. Visit http://www.counter-inaugural.org/
and http://www.inaugurationmedia.org/ for more information. For
pictures and video of the Yes Men's "campaign," visit

WMDs FOUND ON TV

Weapons of Mass Deception, Danny Schechter's must-see indictment of
the US media's coverage of the war in Iraq, is now playing in select
US theaters. Take a friend as a holiday gift!

YES MEN REVEAL DOW HOAX

For 20 years, the Dow Chemical Corporation and its subsidiary, Union
Carbide, have been hoaxing the world by claiming they have no
responsibility for the Bhopal catastrophe of December 3, 1984. Even
today, a person dies every day because the Bhopal plant site has
never been cleaned up.

Usually, the US media completely ignore the anniversary of this, the
worst industrial disaster in history. That changed on December 3, 20
years to the day since the catastrophe, when Andy Bichlbaum of the
Yes Men became official Dow spokesperson Jude (patron saint of lost
causes) Finisterra (end of the world). On BBC World Television, he
did what Dow still won't do: he took responsibility for the disaster
on Dow's behalf and laid out a straightforward ethical path to
compensate the victims, remediate the site, and otherwise help make
amends.

The live broadcast was seen by millions of viewers before the real
Dow responded and the BBC retracted the story. The Identity
Correction was widely reported, especially in the US. It also forced
Dow to publicly reiterate that it in fact will NOT do right by its
victims (http://www.theyesmen.org/dow/).

All hopes are false until they are realized. Make a donation at
http://www.Bhopal.net and http://www.Bhopal.org and help force Dow to
put an end to 20 years of unrealized hopes.

BOOK, MOVIE, ACTION FIGURE, RECIPES

The Yes Men, a full-color book about correcting the identity of the
WTO, is available in the US and UK in English, and it's coming out
soon in France, in French. Rights are still available for a great many
languages, including Spanish, German, and some dialects of Ukrainian.
Would you like to translate it? Publish it? Wow! Please tell us more:
mailto:bookwow@theyesmen.org. See http://www.theyesmen.org/store/#book
for more info.

As for The Yes Men (the movie), it opens in February in the UK, and
in March in most of the rest of Europe. The DVD will be available
shortly in the US. The film just won the audience award at the IDFA
in Amsterdam, despite a number of more worthwhile contenders,
including The Take, Darwin's Nightmare, Liberia: An Uncivil War, and
Weapons of Mass Deception (see above). We'll post links to pages with
showtimes at http:theyesmen.org/links/#movies.

Thank you. Please carry on with your customary holiday merriment.

flux factory project for novelists


Flux Factory (fluxfactory.org) an arts organization and
collective in Long Island City, is doing a project called
NOVEL this Spring. We will build cubicles at our gallery
for three novelists. They will be isolated in these quarters
for a month. During that month they will complete a novel
from scratch. Every weekend there will be public
readings. Food and such will be provided. We're
currently working to get a publisher or publishing house
to sponsor the project and/or commit to publishing the
work. We are looking for published novelists and serious
writers. Send list of publications if intrigued. Definitely a
major challenge and a major commitment. We are not
screwing around.
More Details:
It will happen during the month of May, 2005. We'll be
accepting applicants until Dec 31st and we'll make a
final decision about participants by January 31st.
Applicants send a CV or resume as well as 25 pages or
less of previously published prose to
morgan@fluxfactory.org
The way it looks now, we will build three room-sized
cubicles in our gallery space. They will have at least two
transparent walls but there will be curtains that can be
closed during most hours of the day or night. The only
exception will be during open hours around the readings
on the weekends and a few hours during the week when
we will have public/press conference hours. You will
have some kind of mini-fridge and basic snacking
capacities in your room and minimal furniture (desk, bed,
chair, light, bookcase). We will have architecture people
design the cubicles and they should be pretty cool. They
may be sponsored by a couple of design magazines
and/or companies that will take the opportunity to
promote themselves. Access to the outside world will be
minimal. You will have the chance to leave for bathroom
needs a couple of times a day and for one shower
(facilities here at Flux).
You wont leave the premises here at Flux for the entire
month except in case of absolute emergency. You wont
have email or a phone. You will have a dinner every
evening right outside of your cubicles with just the three
of you. Cooking, dishes, cleaning etc., will be handled by
Flux. Once a week, probably during the weekend
readings, you'll get a chance to make phone calls,
contact people, etc. If you leave the cubicles at any times
other than these you wont be let back in. You'll be
expected to come out with a finished novel that is at
least 125 pages long. Hopefully it will be worth
something. Contact morgan@fluxfactory.org with other
questions.
