Thank you everyone! I feel heartened this afternoon. I know I've been
behind the scenes with the beginning of the school year, so this may be
contributing to confusion about Backspace 5.0....
Quickly, briefly, as I'm sure more will be discussed tonight, access to the
den or another large room is really important to Backspace for classes.
Currently Sara and Don are itching to do regular weekly classes themselves
and to organize more folks for those rooms, and I am excited to do one-off
workshops too, as are others. We'd also like to get going with talks and
presentations so that practitioners can share what they do with others at
the OMNI. In terms of our business plan, events in a larger space is an
important source of revenue.... Hope that helps clarify our interest in the
den.
I won't be able to attend the meeting tonight, but plan to be around for a
few hours tomorrow if anyone's around and wants to chat in person.
In kindness,
M

Hi Sara,
Thanks for sharing. I feel like what you said is super important, and I
just wanted to express that yes, I am in support of this project. I think
is important to express this on the listserve, just as much as expressing
concerns. I'm sorry if this thread left you feeling cornered. I had a
similar reaction to responses to the print proposal. And while I have
concerns maintaining the Mezzanine (Den) area, I think these are concerns
that we will be able to easily arrive at solutions for once we are in
person.

The tension happening right now will be
significantly reduced. We should
keep the support of the future calendar in mind as we make our decisions
about space.
So, Yar and Jenny, thank you so much for working on this! Is there any
way
we non-tech people can help you? Any estimate of
how long it will take?
It will take as long as it takes, somewhere between a day and a week
perhaps. The absolutely most helpful thing that people can do in the
meantime is to be extra nice to us and to each other and to
themselves. <3
