I don't think the event should be "forced out" but I do think ONL should be restructured as just another group that rents the ballroom, and not a core OOC collective with delegate status that they never exercise anyway.

Yerba Mate Baby!

by Jenny Ryan

Hi! We recently received an awesome donation of yerba mate cuttings! Patrick came by tonight and helped us root it in perlite with rooting hormone. It should be spritzed with water multiple time a day, so feel free to give it a spritz when you're in the space! I'll bring in a spray bottle and a checklist for indicaring upkeep tomorrow or Tuesday :) I for one welcome our new mate overlords. <3

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.
