[CIMC-work] screenings and thoughts on promotion

[Mitchell Szczepanczyk]

Emily,

Sounds like a good plan.  Count me in for organizing/taking part in the
indymedia information session(s).

I would advise: Don't just restrict the center panel translations to just
Spanish; look into translations to other languages (e.g., Polish) :-)

would be of interest to like, a million groups/newletters/newspapers/bloggers, etc. 
so a pr release to mainstream media outlets might be a good idea this time. politics 
aside, a few words about it in the Reader or something might have a positive effect on the turnout.

to touch volunteer opportunities for the video group as well as writers, photographers, 
people just interested.

indymedia information session, where people who have signed up on our volunteer lists can ask 
questions about us and how they can help. make it easy and accessible and let them talk. we 
could just have it at our office. i would be willing to organize that. it would be nice to 
promote that at the jan 16-19 event.
