Mad Hatter's Tea Consortium
Space 1, x6144
The Mad Hatter's Tea Consortium is a group of dreamers and architects, schemers, and plotters, and above all those not afraid to answer all claims of "you can not," or "that's impossible," with a wink, a nudge, and a "...yet."
With a dash of Carrol and a twist of Baum in a soup stock of post-modern Victorian aestheticism; served alongside a brew of Lovecraft and Poe in a coil-cooled copper goblet; we present a taste of a time where anything could be- and we weren't sure whether to hope or fear that it would.
From our headquarters in Aetherium, we will formulate and put into action our many and varied works. With events ranging from simple fundraisers, enlightenment tables, and theatrical performances all the way to grand galas for fun and charity, we seek to spread the general air of surrealism and merriment in our new home. So turn up the amber gas-lights, darken the velvet shadows, and let us lead you across the landscape of your dreams and through the caverns of your nightmares. For more information send an email or visit our website.

Socialist Alternative is a national organization fighting in our workplaces, communities, and campuses against the exploitation and injustices people face every day. We are union activists fighting for worker’s rights and militant, democratic labor unions; we are people of color speaking out against racism; students organizing against sweatshops and war; immigrants demanding papers for all undocumented workers; and women and men fighting sexism and homophobia. We campaign for the building of a mass workers party to represent the interest of workers, youth and the environment against the two parties of big business. We see the global capitalist system as the root cause of terrorism, war, poverty, discrimination, and environmental destruction. As capitalism moves deeper into crisis and recession, a new generation of workers and youth must join together to take the top 500 corporations into public ownership. We believe the dictatorships that existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were perversions of what socialism is really about. We are for democratic socialism where people will have control over their daily lives. Socialist Alternative is in political solidarity with the Committee for a Workers’ International, a worldwide socialist organization in 35 countries, on every continent. Join us!
