[Januaryfirst] Mainlander radio tomorrow.

[Gil]

Hi all, I did manage to go to the show and talk with Daniel and Nathan. You
can listen to the interview at co-op radio's website and see if I talked
too much b.s. :-P

We should schedule our next meeting too! Unfortunately, this coming Tuesday
and Wednesday we have Social Housing Coalition meetings, so Alexandra, Dave
and I won't be available. Would people be free on Thursday instead?

Also, big plug here: tomorrow (Sat. Jan. 4) we have a STAND for social
housing at the corner of Broadway and Cambie, at 12 noon. If you can come
help stand and hand out leaflets that'd be awesome :-)
