> Good. We thought you'd like it. Now to (un)business.
>
> Given everyone's general availabilities, it looks like meetings will be
> happening at least once a week on Mondays at 4:30 in the Hall Building
> Java U from now on. If you can't make it during that time, it doesn't mean
> you can't participate! There are plenty of rad events coming up and we're
> bound to have lots of planning sessions that fall outside of that time.
>
> We are bringing back an überculture classic and having a tea-in.
> What's a tea-in, you say? Well, it's like a sit-in, in that it is a
> non-violent occupation/reclaimation of public space. The only difference is
> that you also drink tea. Why? Because tea is the ideal beverage for sharing
> -- stories, questions, political ideas, poetry, you name it--it's a fact. So
> a tea-in is designed to do two things: it is a tactic that challenges
> traditional (boring, oppressive, creatively stifling) interaction with
> public space as well as simultaneously engages folks in creative, positive,
> unstructured dialogue...often with perfect strangers. In other words, a
> little bit of magic during midterms.
>
> so our tea-in will be right in front of H-110 at 2pm sharp on Thursday
> November 5th. It is imperative that you bring a mug!
>
> We are also tabling, with a twist.
> We're in the process of booking tabling space the week of November 9th. The
> CSU has got this funny booking policy where you can only table twice a week,
> and a maximum of four times a month, so the two times we've settled on are Monday
> the 9th from 10-1 and Thursday the 12th from 11-4. ...but you may see us
> around a little more frequently than that. We'll be offering free advice on
> just about everything you'd ever want to know -- no question is too strange,
> personal, or silly. We'll be challenging the cult of the "expert," having
> heart-to-hearts with fellow students, and will probably get a few laughs. As
> usual, we'll also have the tools on hand to cut up your credit card, free
> chalk for all, and plenty of agitprop to go around.
>
> Some things to keep on the back burner:
>
> - Buy Nothing Day is at the end of November and it's going to be a blast.
> We're planning a clothing swap as part of the no-growth economic
> festivities, so start sorting through your closet now!
>
> - We still have copies of School Schmool, the radical/alternative
> organizer and agenda planner. There's a 2$ suggested donation, but we can
> give them away free too.
>
> - If you're interested in organizing a workshop on urban art, we're
> thinking of doing a series for the Spring semester -- wheatpasting,
> stenciling, silkscreening, whatever. Let us know! Skills are for sharing.
>
>
> Finally, a shout-out to the folks at the 2110 Centre for Gender Advocacy --
> who are having an extremely important Special General Meeting<http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=302012345583&ref=ts>that everyone should attend on November 2nd at 6pm in EV 1.605.
