Resistor #1 zinemaking party this weekend & printing help needed!

by "Løng$hanks"

Hullo S(tan) P(ublishes) A(wesome) Z(ines) & other worthies, This weekend at the Land of Broken Refrigerators---aka the 'Coon Shack, aka our permission squat located in a warehouse in one of San Francisco's few green oases---myself, Glamortramp & a mysterious entity known only as +11+ will go into full production mode on the first issue of "RESISTOR: a Zine for those holding on for dear life to San Francisco (as well as those we have already lost)." https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/08/10/18759852.php I o w, zine-making party in SF this weekend, and no one is invited! We've got glue sticks, scissors, a ream of 11 x 17 paper, & a semi-working laptop, which is all we need to slap this first issue together. So we don't need your help. But we will be happy to give you a print copy of RESISTOR #1 in person the next time we cross paths in SF. So if you want one, let us know. We plan to print 100 copies or so of this first issue. It will be online eventually but we can't tell you where or when just yet. One or two issues of RESISTOR will be produced before we move north (at long last!) in late September or early October. Back to the Pacific Northwest---finally!---where it may still be possible to leave the raccoon life behind & live once again like a human being, with the comforts of modern civilization. Then again, that sounds kind of boring, & there's something to be said for the raccoon life---so either way, we'll be all right. We could use help printing the zine! Black & white on tabloid (11 x 17" paper) is what we need. If you can help, let us know! Drop us a line here or at sfresistor(a)riseup.net. Peace etc. +11+ Glamortramp & Longshanks -- Not all who wander are lost.

Agreed, the board definitely needs to start scheduling its next meeting now. The last one was November 2013 iirc.

Let me know if you're interested in doing that. But first read the manuals, and put whatever you find on the wiki page so the rest of us know where to start. http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ -jake _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss

Eventually, want to hand-off Treasurer position.

by Maximilian Klein

Hello Sudo, I want to make it clear that eventually - not right now - I want to find a replacement for myself as Sudo Treasurer. *Responsibilities* The things the Treasurer has to do are: (i)be responsible for filing yearly taxes, (ii) deposit misc. funds into the bank account (iii) give out misc money that sudo room approves (iv) report to sudo room the state of finances. *Fundraising* Additionally, since Sudo Room is once again receiving less income each month than expenditure, a good Treasurer would have some fundraising ideas, and/or want to execute other's ideas. My reason for leaving is to clear up space in my life for a career change - not because the job is terribly dramatic, difficult or involved. (Post Burning Man mental spring cleaning :) ) Thanks for listening, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

NEEDED: high quality sound system & mic for ballroom

by yar

In two weeks, on September 20th, the omni will host this event: http://criticalresistance.org/oakland-dreaming-wildly-fighting-to-win-with-… They are expecting 300+ people, for many of whom this will be their first time at the omni, and first impressions count a lot! We'll need a high quality sound system with at least one portable microphone ready for this. Ideally it will be something durable, failsafe and easy to use. Who's willing to work with me to make this happen? Please reply here or contact me privately. I am no expert but will work hard alongside you. I would like to meet within the next few days to plan logistics, and have the system fully set up and ready for testing by next Monday the 15th. Thanks!
