[CIMC-work] redline radio

[Garth Liebhaber]

Can't make the redline meeting, but I like the direction that this is going 
in, as per fundraiser.  Their church fundraiser sounded a bit vague as to 
what actually happened, but I like the sound of it.  Food definitely sounds 
like a good ingredient.  Maybe like a media workshop festival type thing.  
Good time for fun trainings?  Remember- maybe we'll feel we're preaching to 
the choir, but often the choir that you got to get to sing.  We could do 
semi-formal workshops (which probabaly require computers) like in the 
afternoon of a Saturday and then have a dinner and then maybe movies along 
with beer.
     Thesis, come for an afternoon and learn solid things about doing media 
and then relax/socialize with food and beer.  then we'll watch a high-power 
imc production so you can see what we all can do.
     Who?  interested media activists, organizers, etc.
