Nick Chate never got back to me - could give him another poke if you like, but it may be a lost cause...

michaelbowdidge · Re: Visual arts meeting 29/1/09 What's that then?

What's that then?

michaelbowdidge

Don't forget to send us a postcard...

michaelbowdidge

I am back up for monday 02/02 if required

michaelbowdidge

do they have to be images from last year's festival programme or can they be from anything we've done here?

michaelbowdidge

Yes, you do, but with you it's a~~lifestyle choice~~ vocation...

michaelbowdidge

I do like the notion of hilking across the hills, camping and then going to little sparta - a proper little adventure

April or May could be good for that, before it gets too busy...

michaelbowdidge

Not going to be able to make the morning now as well as I've got to work - I could only get weekend shifts this week

Might still be around for evening discussions though.

michaelbowdidge

Another vote for locks...

michaelbowdidge

My apologies, I thought it was the sunday for some reason. Can't make all day saturday now as I've got a teaching commitment late afternoon/early evening, though if we go up the hill in the morning or early afternoon I might be able to do that and then meet back up with you all later.

michaelbowdidge

So, are we still having our 'away day' on Sunday the 25th? What time? What's the plan? Are we still going up Arthur's Seat (so to speak)?

michaelbowdidge

I have some photos - the best one is on the Art Review page now. Mirja is going to be there on friday for the get out (thanks!) - the council people are coming between 10.30 and 12.00 in the morning to collect the trees...

michaelbowdidge

Go Milk!!!!!

michaelbowdidge

I will call them on monday and see what they say and will email you the number as i don't want to post it on here. Cheers!!!

michaelbowdidge

You star! I'll phone them on monday to arrage a pick up for friday - what time would suit you best?

michaelbowdidge

The 'worst case scenario' is that he council won't come on to the premises for insurance reasons so someone might have to pass the trees out the door to them, though I'd be surprised if they were that pedantic about it. Basically just that and sweeping up afterwards...

michaelbowdidge

well, we need to make a decision as to when its coming down by monday so i can phone the council to arrange a pick up, if no-one can do friday and monday is too late then i might be able to do weds at some point.

michaelbowdidge

oh, i forgy NO MORE TREES REQUIRED!!!! we are done!!!!!!!!!

It looks and smells fantastic, but it's also a teensy bit sad too... well done team TK!

michaelbowdidge

well, if we get the trees collected am of friday 16th can anyone be there to point the council in the right direction/clean up? I can't do that day as i'm away - can anyone else be there?

michaelbowdidge

Well, I think we now have enough christmas trees, so please don't bring any more in, as the gallery is now totally full of them!

Many thanks to everyone that brought in trees - much appreciated!

michaelbowdidge

See below for the email i got from the council: pick up should be no problem - we just need to ring them to arrange this next week (and i have the guy below's numbers, including mobile, I just didn't want to post them up here). I call him but i need to know when we want to do it: I am away from ver...

michaelbowdidge

That's great - Stephen and me are going to bring up the ones from clerk st tomorrow night and i will also drag up what i can from leith walk on the way, i reckon we will need around 30 -35 to do the job properly... can't wait to see it finished... 2 things to watch out for when 'installing': firstly...

michaelbowdidge

if anyone sees any thrown out christmas trees on their way to the Forest in the next few days could they please bring them in and leave them in the gallery, as we are going to use them for our next project - I will re-post here when we have enough trees for what we want to do

THANKS!

michaelbowdidge

haven't heard anything yet - Idon't suppose there is anyone there til monday - fret ye not - we wil get it sorted

Thanks Melanie, will bear that in mind...

michaelbowdidge

I guess i will start sunday morning.

michaelbowdidge

thanks - glad you like it.

that's the number i've got too but it's the general council number i think - easier to email them methinks, more chance of speaking to the right person that way.. will do that now.

michaelbowdidge

Poster...

michaelbowdidge

Errr, no I haven't spoken to them yet, been busy/away but i can try tomorrow although I figured it might be better to speak to them once they were in the swing of picking up trees, i.e after the 7th...

Poster coming shortly...

These lesbians must be following her around!

Tha other possibility is that only she can see them and her boyfriend is humouring her... that would also explain why Swithun keeps 'missing out'.....

michaelbowdidge

Quoting that to us in an email is pretty close to 'threatening behaviour' in my book... if this isn't some kind of sick excuse for humour then, given that particular choice of words, and the 'riot' comment I think she (and possibly her boyfriend) should be barred immediately on health and safety gro...

michaelbowdidge

I agree...

Indeed it is, though Ana might not approve of that either...

michaelbowdidge

Words fail me completely (and you all know that's quite unusual...) Can we not ban them for being bigots? Surely the fact that she is asking us to discriminate in this way breaks the law, no?

noted.

michaelbowdidge

thanks Mirja - well spotted - it's that famous eye from Un Chien Andalou... I have never actually managed to watch that scene...

And that's a very good idea regarding the application...

michaelbowdidge

That should be fine at 100% then as that's only about 4.5mm... BTW dd you recognise the 'eye'?

michaelbowdidge

could do... maybe talk about that next week - though we do have the tk party just before it too, it might get a bit like, 'party overload'?

michaelbowdidge

here's the high res version of the file - can we print some at the forest? It is set up for A$ but if it starts cropping at the bottom we might have to print it at, say, 95% and centre it to give a bigger border....

michaelbowdidge

Here's the first... let me know what yo think, not averse to changing it if the need is felt but reasonably pleased with it...

michaelbowdidge

I'd like to do both of them as it goes... have got a couple of ideas

michaelbowdidge

Thanks!

michaelbowdidge

can we put the call for submissions on fa(e)ce(s)book? Would that work?

michaelbowdidge

looks great!

michaelbowdidge

...and that's a great idea Mirja. Perhaps we can discuss that at greater length next tues at the meeting?

michaelbowdidge

Have spoken to Ken - he is going to have alook at our leak tomorrow as he's coming in to fix the leaky tap in the kitchen.... hmmmm... i wonder if there is a connection there?
