[CIMC-work] URGENT: re Fri. benefit

[ChrisGeovanis@aol.com]

OK, couple of important things.

1) There is a slight possiblity that the night of our benefit the vast 
majority of our supporters may in fact be in the streets. If necesary, do we 
want to consider 'postponing' (till April 25 -- our next date for the Buddy 
space) the Friday event should this be the case? If so, I suggest a notice on 
the site's center panel block (maybe moved up to top page) saying 'postponed 
till April 25 -- get out in the streets!' We may not be able to make a final 
decision about this until Thursday, but I want to test the waters on this. 
I've spoken w/both Ed and Jackie of the Select project/Buddy space, and they 
are totally fine with this.

2) Beer (Corona) and pop (generic cola and ginger ale) PLUS ice are being 
fronted by Souk, which is literally two doors down from Buddy. Contact there 
is Mahmud Ahmad, hammerhard's dear friend (yay, Mahmud!). We just need to 
cover wholesale costs for whatever we sell (we have to eat ALL the pop, 
though, since they are ordering this specially for us). They do NOT have 
icing containers to lend us. Crap. Does anybody have/can anybody bring a 
couple of carry-able bins (metal or plastic, wider rather than deeper, like 
roughly 2-3 feet wide and no more than a foot or two deep) in which to ice 
the beer/pop?

3) It is absolutely imperative that people let this list know IMMEDIATELY 
what video shorts they have in hand/are proposing to screen for the two Video 
Resistance segments. I am expecting to get a 9 minute anti-war piece from 
Maine momentarily, and Labor Beat is also sending me a segment that I think 
is around 20 minutes long -- plus, I've gotten queries back from a couple 
people that may actually be bringing their stuff in Fri. even. Also, the 
Buddy people are getting me copies of both Select v1.0 and v2.0, which should 
have some stuff on it that we want to screen. WHAT ELSE are we screening? 

OK, that's it for now.
