Hey all,

Here's a first draft of a preliminary poster to get the word out! It's designed to be printed on tabloid (11" x 17") paper:

In other news, we still need:

• Point-of-contact for the Bake Sale, and more bakers!
• To sort more things around Omni Commons to sell at the rummage sale.
• More musical acts / performances -- contact Dragon at arktivist@gmail.com (or ask me for Dragon's # !)
• New ideas from everybody, including what each collective can contribute to make our 9/19 rent party a success.

It would be great to make a simple, beautiful flyer to promote the event both online and in-person - however, my graphic design skillz are pretty weak. Could anyone help with this? (cc'ing Nic who just created a beautiful brochure for sudo mesh :)
