Howdy all!
The first Film Night went wonderfully!
I aimed for the goal of at least ten attendees, to make the time and energy
needed to host it on a weekly basis a worthwhile personal spendature.
Around twenty people showed up for The King of Hearts, and a few even
stayed for the impromptu double feature!
I am so grateful to everyone who helped set it up, and to those who came
and enjoyed one of my favorite films with me.
Due to the success of the test event, I'm more confident in continuing Film
Night as planned, and I hope to see more of you all at future screenings!
Have a friggin awesome day everyone :)

> The Alternative Press Expo returns to San Francisco next weekend, and I hope you’ll all make the trip to Fort Mason to check it out. Details, as always, are posted at http://www.comic-con.org
>
> For the past several years, APE has hosted workshops conducted by local cartoonists on a variety of topics. We just had a last-minute cancellation from one of our Saturday afternoon workshops, so I’ll put one more call-out to my local artist list to see if anyone’s interested and available. If you’re already exhibiting at APE, this is a great way to bring a little extra attention to yourself at the convention; if you’re not attending, it’s a way to score a free pass for you and a friend.
>
> Please read the descriptions below to get a sense of what’s being offered this year. The canceled workshop was on the subject of character design, so if that’s one of your specialties, you won’t even have to think of a new topic.
>
> Thanks for your consideration! Hope to see you soon.

> 12:00-1:00 Cartoon Calisthenics—Artists of all levels are invited to start their day at APE off right with healthy and fun cartooning challenges and exercises with artist and teacher Brian Kolm (atomicbearpress.com). No need to wear your sparkly sweat suit (unless that’s your thing), just bring yourself and be ready to draw! Fleet Room
>
> 1:00-2:00 Inking for Reluctant Inkers—Inking is an integral part of comics; for some it's easy, for others it's terrifying. If you're looking to move past Microns and incorporate old school inking in your work, you should definitely attend this seminar with Mark Haven Britt. Basic techniques such as using a nib, drawing a straight line with a brush, spattering and masking will be covered. Learn some basic exercises/games to improve dexterity as well as strategies to get over fears of "screwing up the drawing" and focus on the decisive fun of completing the drawing will be discussed. Inking can be incredibly fun. Fleet Room
>
> 2:00-3:00 Graphic Humor 101—Join award-winning cartoonist Jonathan Lemon (Rabbits Against Magic) for a crash course in graphic humor and the fundamentals of comedy in this laugh-packed workshop. Fleet Room
>
> 3:00-4:00 PoetryComics—Great poems make great comics. In this class, Cara Goldstein will explore the balance of words and images, while looking at poetic cartoonists such as Gabrielle Bell, Hope Larson, Nate Powell, Lilli Carre' and Craig Thompson. Pieces in Dave Morice's book PoetryComics, which covers poems by Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Shakespeare, will also be read. All levels of drawing and writing are welcome. Fleet Room
>
> 4:00-5:00
>
> 5:00-6:00 Hip-Hop Heroes—For 20 years, Age Scott (Won and Phil) has been pushing boundaries and taking risks with his comics, exploring music, pop culture, and other non-traditional subject matter. In this workshop, Age will discuss his experiences as a creator and the importance of working outside the mainstream. Fleet Room

hi all,
we'd like to start doing a weekly informal show and tell - kind of like a 5
minutes of fame, but more informal. anyone could share something that
they're working on, or something interesting, and we all listen and
participate.
are you a sudoer who would be interested in being a participant in
something like this? if you are, what day(s) of the week might you be
interested in doing this? also, we'd like to pick a day of the week when
folks are likely to be around anyway so that anyone who's around can listen
in for a bit, participate, go back to what they're doing. if there's a day
of the week that sounds like it would fit that bill, please reply all.

Excited to see folks at sudo room tonight, Fri at 7pm at:

Looking forward to hacking on the BACH Unconference
http://2014.ba.chgrp.org/
In the latest OReilly newsletter Ellen F. writes about a cat with a radio
collar who wanders around neighborhoods to check for weak points in
neighborhood wifis.
I'm wondering if SudoMesh could do something similar - attach a radio
collar to an outdoors cat to detect existing Sudomesh networks? Maybe that
would be a fun hack!
https://www.mapr.com/blog/the-internet-of-cat-toys?imm_mid=0c3ab9&cmp=em-na…
One cat, a radio collar, and a night on the town – this little adventure
turned into an entertaining article in *Wired* magazine 8 August 2014 by
Andy Greenberg about the creative use of a feline investigator to find weak
points in security of the neighborhood’s wifis

Hi all,
- Who has truck key -- Gabriela?
- Who can make a dump run tomorrow? It needs to go to:
Commercial Waste & Recycling
1. 725 Independent Rd, Oakland, CA 94621
2. (510) 636-0852
- I can't do it, so I really hope someone can..? Or we will be charged
another $100/day for renting the truck..
- Gabriela, when does truck need to be returned?
- It will probably cost about ~$200 to dump.. Maybe less, but to be on the
safe side. OOC will reimburse or, you can borrow card from:
Jenny, Joel or Niki.
Hope someone can do this.. Thanks all!
Xo!
