Forest BB

I don't think it necessarily needs a logo, as long as it looks like they've got an alright labour policy. Traidcraft is good.

Shannon

On t-shirts: I haven't looked closely at your choices, but I think you should make sure there is some sort of fair labour standard involved as well. Sorry to add another complication... I think Neil did the last batch of t-shirt ordering. He may have some advice. I could probably dig something up if...

Shannon

I think amelia was demonstrating a tried and true tactic used in the online world to deal with trolls : Pick up some little piece of what they've written and derail the thread like crazy. Ignore aforementioned troll and give prizes for the most amusing derailment. Repeat until you get bored or reali...

Shannon

Further, we have no bureaucratic types. Every member of the collective is a practising artist in their own way and your tone makes we wish everyone here would stop indulging you. I don't know if everyone at Forest is an artist, but I do know that we should thank our stars that enough good people ca...

Shannon

... and we aren't officially open to the public yet either but anyone is welcome round.. 07965710354 is the phone number... get your mates to explain to whoever answers the phone that neck sent an email saying it'd be cool... excited about getting some more people there... its small numbers at the ...

Shannon

I think you need to email them. Maybe they didn't post it as it's also a living space? Not really sure.

Shannon

In case you find yourself in Worcester... Hey, we're WET PAINT, we've occupied a building and are transforming it into a billion dreams.. This is the first time we've attempted something quite like this, and we're aiming to 'open our doors' as it were, as soon as we can, once the building is sorted....

Shannon

Received this in my email today. Some of us went on an exchange to Pekarna a couple of years ago. It's a good space with lots of different stuff happening cultural/art/community/political/etc. Maybe the Forest can sign as an organisation? Dear friends, bands, artists, creators... For the past 14 yea...

Shannon

Dan and Nix have names I think. There is a paint store in Marchmont that you can ask, tell them it's for a charity...can't remember the name, sorry.

Shannon

Don't forget to change the text as Ryan suggested before sending them off...

Shannon

nice!

Shannon

Why are we advertising the non-free non-Forest workshops being held in the hall upstairs??

Shannon

Not sure if the action group is functioning but maybe run it past them? Also, it seems like it might be a good project for one or some of the EVS peoples to get involved with?

Shannon

Sounds awesome. Do it!! Sounds like it might be worth a grant application as well...

Overtoom 301, Amsterdam:

Vegan kitchen, cheap organic beer, studio space, cinema, parties, gigs, beehive gallery and more. more. more.

Shannon

In general, if you want to get in for a dj slot you need to go to the counter in the cafe and ask for the events book. Instructions are in the front of it and the kitchen can usually help if you have other questions.

Shannon

I can send the laser thing, but I doubt we will get included unless it also says something that will mean something to people who are not us. It would be good to have some combination of concrete description and abstract interestingness...in two lines.

xxxxx

Shannon

It would probably be good if people agreed on the description for this and I'm really busy until the beginning of October... Should it be the standard '...self-managed, independent, not-for-profit arts and community space....powered by a vegetarian cafe'?? Laser good but maybe not without something ...

Shannon

From Paul at the Common Place: folks ive been asked to a do a two page spread from new internationalist amgazine in their action section. they have section in it called hotspots. have you seen it? ive got a scanned in version I can send off list - please ask me. it's a great opportunty - one page is...

Shannon

peanut butter????

Shannon

"I think not moving the free shop will compromise the fundamental aims of the organisation or the project." No, I guess I don't. Still, this is more than a shop decision and yet kicking it up to FWG doesn't seem fair in some people's minds. you aren't the only person who needs to go over it like th...

Shannon

People need to understand what it means to block. I hear Neal's point and agree that it is difficult to get change or get things done if the people using consensus don't actually understand it. You don't block just because you don't like an idea. First you try and come up with creative proposals tha...

Shannon

Nice one. I have lots of names too. I would also suggest that you try and give preference to horizontal, self-organised groups who work in a similar way to the Forest. Or, innovative groups doing something different than the same old boring tried and failed methods... For example, I'm in Sweden wher...

Shannon

Wasn't there an application from Alice plus friend for help putting together a planned exhibition???

Shannon

BTW what is going on with the bb at the moment - the tone seems to be getting very negative and snippy - is this what we're about? I'm getting quite sick of it...

but it is getting snippy in here...

Shannon

Osman is awesome - you should go see him for sure! But there must be a shop nearby to get one? If not, Glasgow...certainly you shouldn't need to wait for people heading to Turkey.

Shannon

Greetings! Have you been struggling to find a central, clean, cosy and collaborative workshop space in Edinburgh? If so we've found your solution. Loads of excellent spaces (approx 22,000sqft) have just become available in a new complex in Meadowbank called Art's Complex. * For example get approx 17...

Shannon

I think this is all a very good idea.

Shannon

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!

Shannon

Yes I'll be there...

(Give the boys whatever they need!)

Shannon

Major Matt Mason - yes, yes, yes!!!!!! When, when, when????

Shannon

The UK social centres network is holding another meeting. Could be a good chance to check out another autonomous, collectively-run space and maybe visit Matthew in Bristol?? The network put out a reader on social centres called 'What is this place?' a few months ago and we have an article in it (see...

I can't read prıvate messages since the change. I get some error sayıng no authorization or something.

Shannon

Want to go to Climate Camp and haven´t managed to organise any transport to get there yet? All is not lost! The Scotland Barrio has Mega Bus tickets to sell for the bargain price of £9.75 from Edinburgh to London and £11.00 London to Edinburgh. The bus down leaves on the 2nd of August at 11:00 and a...

Shannon

Looks really good. Emi and I talked about her doing this yesterday. Would be good to tell her you've already done it! She is volunteer coordinator, so she'll be slotting people onto the rota and maintaining the information. Not sure about the wording on the disability/impairment question. When we ta...

Shannon

Maybe one day the burrito will return as a 'special'??

Fridge looks nice, but I think maybe we can get away with a much cheaper option. Kim has the old bar... Any luck finding the tall, glass display fridge?

Shannon

sounds good.

Shannon

I like the font but it's very difficult to read. Is it possible to make it more legible but still cool?

Shannon

I'm not sure if the old bar is actually practical for what we need right now. If we have something more like the counter then we can fit two bar fridges underneath. Don't think there'll be a place for fridges with the old bar, but maybe I am wrong? The old bar is super sexy.

Shannon

Looks like we're going to have a projector in the Cave after all...sorry!

Shannon

Dudes - is it cool if we're showing zine fair related films in the cafe during daytime hours? Will it be a problem for Olivier's bread workshop?

Shannon

She's all better. I was down there today doing the Green City order and it was atrocious. Why doesn't anyone ever take the boxes out? We would have more room if we didn't keep boxes with only one or two items in them. There were three different containers of bread and another order coming tomorrow! ...

Shannon

I was just going to post about this. Something really needs to be done. Is it really that impractical to redo that section of flooring? Should I ask Ken?

Shannon

Emi - let's do the volunteer application form! We're going to need it soon soon soon...start of the festival means many new vollies.

Shannon

Getting rid of burritos, falafel AND nachos. Don't forget the nachos. Might be worth talking to Engine Shed to see if we can change from the wholemeal loaves to something more like baguette or foccacia...things that would be better on the mezze plates but still good for beans and cheese. With falafe...

Shannon

Personally, I don't think we want 12 hours of it in the cafe. A shorter stint would be okay. Do they know how loud and busy it will be?

Shannon

We don't have more money to give out. The budget is gone.

Shannon

we could be making them this weekend at the zine fair!

ideas for the graphic??

Shannon

Projector was sorted out last night. I saw Ryan on a ladder. Any ideas about a projector on Saturday, Stephen? Dai has been cooking up films, but the cafe might be the only place we have to show them without a projector... Also, I turned the projector off last night. Where is the remote to turn the ...
