<div dir="ltr">Hey Omni booking folks + Sudo and friends,<div><br></div><div>The Beehive Collective was told by UC to relocate their Tuesday, Oct 21 event. They reached out to Omni through friends at the Gill Tract (see <a href="http://occupythefarm.org" target="_blank">occupythefarm.org</a>). I know it's last minute, but there doesn't seem to be anything on the calendar, so I put a hold for them.</div><div><br></div><div>Their request is to show their giant, portable murals about global issues of all kinds at Omni, 6:30–9pm Tuesday, with appx. 25–50 guests. They are an all-volunteer group on tour but can chip in some $ to Omni.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Before I confirm it this event I want to ask, <b>Does anyone have any blocking concerns about this event?</b></div></div><div><br></div><div>For more details, here's the blurb:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div>Based out of small-town Machias across the country in rural Maine, the Beehive Design Collective is an all-volunteer organization of activists, artists, educators and organizers. Our main focus is creating and presenting graphic works about global issues internationally. These portable murals are teeming with intricate images of plants and animals, illustrating surreal but meticulously researched scenes of sociocultural realities in the modern world. Not only are our graphics detailed, beautiful works of art, but they also are tools in understanding the big picture of a region's struggles.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Danny<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 5:38 PM, Danny Spitzberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stationaery@gmail.com" target="_blank">stationaery@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
