Message-ID: Hi everyone, I think Kess is (or was) trying to find a meeting room to hold a meeting tonight, but no announcement has been made yet, so I wonder if it still makes sense. It doesn't really give you guys much time to plan to attend if it isn't announced in advance. I know the CUPE Boardroom at 20 James was booked, so they were looking at CUPW (nearby). I just checked and Kess has the CUPE 20 James Boardroom booked for next Tuesday, May 13, and I booked it for you for Tuesday, May 20th, so if you want to meet on those days, you have a meeting room. I'll leave it to you guys to decide, either by email or if you do actually meet this week. One little suggestion: one thing that I've begun to use in groups that I work with is minor decisions (like when & where to hold meetings) getting made by email. If a proposal is made by email, and there is a certain amount of agreement posted (by email) - such as 5 or 6 agreements - and no objections, then the proposal passes (to be ratified at the next actual face-to-face meeting). This is only for decisions that have to be made in-between meetings - it allows a semi-fair process to get things accomplished, and avoids having to wait until the next formal meeting.

Hey Everyone,
Sorry I didn't post anything about the meeting, I was at a spring camp until yesterday at which point I was to tired to lift my eyelids, if you can imagine.
If there is anything emergency to discuss tonight then you guys can do it via e-mail, otherwise I think Gwen's idea sounded good (seeing as it doesn't look like anything is available for this week.) The next two meetings are booked: Tuesday the 13th and 20th at 6pm, 20 James street. I'm not feeling too good so if you do decide to meet at a park this week I probably wont be there, sorry.

Hope to see everyone next week,

~Kess

Hundreds of thousands of people were in the streets of genoa, with differing tacticts being used on by various protestors. On boy, Carlo Giuliani, was killed by two gunshots at close range. Shots fired, of course, by a policeman. There are photographs of the incident, from beining to end, (isn't technology wonderful?) available here: http://www.nauseamanifesto.com/genoa/index.html (Navigation is at the bottom of the page... look through all the pics in order.) There have been legal goings-on in Italy in regards to this case since then. I've not been following them at all so I can't really comment much on them. The important part is that the policeman who shot and killed Carlo has been **AQUITTED** and will go back to his job as a cop. The IMC story: http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=317517&group=webcast BTW, the story of Genoa is a very compelling one. The IMC UK film _Genoa: Red Zone_ was what really solidified my anti-statist, anti-capitalist views. I'm ordering a copy of it, and it should be here soonish. I'd like people to borrow it if they'd like... It's a fucking amzing movie. Some info about it is halfway down this page: http://uk.indymedia.org/genoa_video.php3 No war but the class war!

Hello all,

The peace concert time is approching faster and faster! When the information for the room is settled we should start advertising right away, it's essential to hand out flyers (in big numbers) put up posters, distribute flyers to all local music stoors, post concert date on punkottawa.com (it doesn't have to be a punk show to be posted on this site, the site simply promotes the sharing of music and shows) If any information to do with the room or auditions is found please communicate it! I know that Babylon is too expensive, and it seems as though finding a room may be tough, but we've gotta stick to it!

Thanks everyone for all the effort put into all of this!

The things on your list seem pretty basic, we can all make the biggest effort we can advertising, that won't be hard. As far as sponcers go, give me a couple ideas as to who we should should ask and I can call around. Other than that we need a ROOM! I was just wondering who was looking around for one. If anybody was, it looks like you were Shanaz, so we should keep that up and find one fast. That's our priority.
We're doing ok.
