You don't want to miss the viewing of the documentary film Independent America: The Two Lane Search for Mom & Pop it is an 
entertaining account of film makers Hosein and Hughes’s expedition through 32 states as they look for an America unchained by corporate re- tail. Self-imposed road rules bar them from major highways and corporate chain retail. Traveling on alternative roads, the duo can only do business with Mom & Pop.
The movie starts at 7:30 and we will have an after party sponsored by American Automated Payroll at Zia Taqueria with appetizers and beer! Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door (cash or check at the door only). Space is limited!
