I reached out to Michael Orange from Top 10 social in downtown Oakland. Their events are parties, have more up and coming young African American professionals, and are all around of a different, highly complementary vibe to SudoRoom. Top 10 social has held a lot of great art benefits--gallery benefits for the family of youth murdered in Chicago (that one made me cry!), a Game Changers project for filmmakers working on microdocumentaries.They also sponsor talks on food justice and bringing healthier options to the African-American community in Oakland and other urban areas. - I'm talking to Michael Orange to see what projects would make sense for Top 10 social and Sudo Room. I've known him for a couple of years, he's a great guy. - I threw around a few ideas that were brought up by various community groups and Sudo Room Members -- sudo room people helping community workshops fixing senior citizens' computers, bike fixing workshops, etc. - I'm waiting for Michael to reply--if they have space for us I think it would be a nice complement to SudoRoom! They are great folks, and I like how they are differnet from us. They dress up a lot nicer than we do,so they could be the yang to our yin or vice versa. _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss
