[CIMC-work] yo, notes from the meeting y'all missed

[Garth Liebhaber]

First move was to split the treasury between Chris, Dick, Don and myself. It 
lasted a few hours down at the bar before it ran out and we went home.

no, no, just kidding.  okay, here's some rough meeting notes:

Upcoming Center Columns:
      *Bike Summer,
           garth just posted all info and links to listserve.  garth will 
get photos of events at Buddy
      *Housing Action this Thursday
           Dick and Garth are covering this
     *Radio Project
           Garth is fielding input from Tom Robb @wzrd and redline to get 
comprehensive list of Chicago Radio
            Projects.  input welcome to build story block.
     *August 23rd Bring the Troops Home, CCAWR event, replicating intended 
M20 march route.
     *Day Laborers, Chris G. is digging up more content...
     *Also, there are many fall events to gear up for, in particular Miami 
Nov.17-21, many busses from Chicago.  Oct. 25th is a March on the Pentagon, 
again, many busses.  This should be BIG.

    Other talk centered around getting the Chicago Radio community together 
for the Free Radio Berkeley project which involves a national day of 
micro-radio broadcasting.  Radio Free Berkely is training activists to use 
$150 micro broadcasters that they are supplying.. taking back the waves...

Women in the Director's Chair gave us the proposal that if we committed to 
one day a month where we would have a video fundraiser we could have a 
discounted rental price from 250 to 150...opinions voiced anxiety over 
commitment, that we would lose our needed flexibility and always having new 
footage to show.

CAN-TV also voiced interest in doing video training for a "team" of imc 
videographers, motive being that they need local footage to justify their 
existance and this would be a good way to encourage its growth.  Also, 
perhaps this would be good way to get the video people together?  more of 
the leadership for that needs to come from video people.....thoughts?

what else?  when can we do a training on html for Center Features?  MLE 
voiced interest and I (garth) would like a second attempt at it.

our office is near complete, the space we have looks just as if not more 
useful than the way it was before.  let's make it our space, even if we 
don't use it.  We was wondering, MLE, if you can print poster size prints of 
CIMC propaganda, stuff.  Like a large size version of the poster for the 
Video Fundraiser we had at Buddy? Or perhaps a poster-size version of our 
wonderful logo?  If I scan a super large file of some dramatic pictures can 
you type over some C-IMC propaganda words?  Does anyone have a good map of 
Chicago, or know where I can pick one up?

blah blah blah,
good night,
garth
