I don't know about the "obligation" part. Either way, I think it is a good thing to do. But we need to do this properly. Some the the EVS don't have lights yet, which is very highly dangerous. not to mention lack of helmets. If the Forest says it will be doing this, It needs to get it sorted now and...

James

Not the improverts. They did two kinds of shows last year. One was the usual short form improvised stuff. Short games, taking suggestions from the audience. Like the improverts at bedlam do. This was good. Seeing Love pretend to be a plumber in the desert was hilarious. The other was more long form ...

James

The Oxford Imps, who did a couple of shows last year, want to do a 12 hour marathon of improvised comedy. Could be very surreal towards the end ..... The Hall is already booked, but how do people feel about having them in the cafe 11am to 11pm one day?

James

when I was at uni, I heard a story about some people messing around with a laser. Someone else walked into the room, and as he said later "the scariest thing in my whole life was the sound of my own eye bursting."

play with matches, kids. far safer.

James

well, obviously I don't but I'm far to tired to argue the point now. basically, as with most things, i generally think its far to complicated to be explained so simply. Art is based on people being inspired by things they see around them, but there's a difference between inspiration and straight up ...

James

here is a very quick start
obviously it needs lots of work
but that is basically the layout idea.

James

present: me, carlos, ida we want to do a very good programme during august talked about ideas james to work on some layout ideas carlos and ida to collect information, starting now ida to reduce to a small paragraph for each thing need to find someone who can do layout work during august (and before...

James

So, some people here just take Photographs from any old place online when illustrating stuff. I really don't think we should be doing that - as an artist organisation, we should be doing what we can to support artists - and not stealing their work would be a good start. So, I'm starting a thread wit...

James

I just found out about this last week and it sounds great. 4 mins chess, 2 mins boxing, you can lose by KO, checkmate or chess clock running out. The world heavy weight championship was defending his title last weekend in Germany. The best thing about this sport? apparently it actually came from a c...

James

I will be away then. sorry. another time. have fun.

James

So I meet Bill today and we talked and we're both happy with things. Both of us are happy not to have a meeting on thu. Bill is going to talk to other artists about this. We are happy with artists being there over august, but they should note that there will be many performances in the hall that nee...

James

ffs, I very much hate message boards and general internet faff for several reasons. (ironic given how i earn my living) One of which Is this kind of thing. I have been south several days and have not had time to write good messages. Now I'm on a cramped train and am not in a relaxed or calm mood. I ...

James

A meeting about the balconies sounds cool. I will just point out that I was saying that I wanted to talk about it, and not that I was going to do it without consulting people.

James

I can do monday late morning or afternoon

James

http://www.forestfringe.co.uk/schedule.htm So you guys have time in the schedule ... we need to talk about this. To sort out some legal stuff with the theatre license and to get some information on the show as soon as we can for the printed programme. Andy in London wants a word to. Whos looking aft...

James

We would definitely want to take a look at them.
I'm away, back sat, if that's not to late?

James

From the green angle, I'm unwilling to just start recommending USB sticks. Its completely inefficient and a bit of a waste. Plus WGs need to share docs ..... and although you can encrypt USB sticks most people won't and then we end up losing important docs. I'm sorry I can't make the meeting thu but...

James

late notice! I missed it. someone tell me what happened

James

don't worry, I would def talk to glasgow people first.
I heard a rumour carnival arts centre was on its way out - hopefully i heard wrong?

James

I would go for no user quotas, There might be a situation where someone needs to store lots of stuff, like video editing. I once worked for a company which had limited email server space, and they sent round a regular reminder listing how much space everyone used next to their names. Sounds like a p...

James

bill is meant to be in charge of balconies. He's not around much. I'll make sure they are cleared out before august. I had one of those nice days where things worked out .... I have the phone number of a girl who is doing an art project and wants lots of working TVs. I told her she might be able to ...

James

maybe not the 6th ... I've just noticed some events down south on the 5th, and I'll be in the area anyway, so I will try to go.

James

I Apologise, but I can't make this. friends thing down south. But judging by the last one, almost noone else can be bothered to either. The only things I want to talk about is baconies; moving artists out and if artists want to stay talking to them personally about the limitations on them. The limit...

James

sounds good to me.
I'm going to suggest 6th or 13th of july, cos I really want to be there to learn about number 4.0.

James

Is there really nothing? Alex has said before lots of people have asked him about it and now someone's emailed me - they are coming from glasgow for the talk on ubuntu. Someone told me once there is probably as much stuff happening in Glasgow as here, but there isn't a place like The Forest to act a...

James

am waiting for swithun to get back to me about this tuesday and sound editing ...
someone from glasgow wants to come to Ubuntu on the 15th, so that's definitely on

James

second from left seems to have same hd errors sometimes ...
so we decided the HD cables might be the problem and we should get new ones.
Is someone going to do that?

James

the 15th - ubuntu talk

James

poster ........

James

maybe sunday morning before noon when the cafe is shut and we can make odd noises without pissing the customers off?

James

saw him last night and he'd be very up for this. he feels overworked as a sound engineer. Lets do it.

James

I'm up for that. I can teach people a lot of that stuff. I can plug up the mics and the sound desk and make sound come out of it. But I don't have the ear for all that bass/treble equalizer fine tuning stuff. Maybe someone else is up for that?

James

so we played a game, and we ended up agreeing to run a regular thing, sun 2pm, for a bit to see how it goes. See you there ...

James

ah, see what you mean. sorry, no good at this electronic talking stuff ......

thanks, might go there later then.

James

to late; i have texted a lot of people and now its to late to change. and some people slept in and now its to late to catch the tide. we will head down to cammo soon we will do island another time I checked safe crossing times. this morning until noon. tonight it is 9pm to 1am. not sure where 11pm i...

James

just in the cafe. some of the film festival films have talks on afterwards by the way, if this one does I'll be a tiny bit late ....

James

they might have done, but it doesn't matter now. to late. and in some ways cammo estate is better. so anyway, we will be down there from, i don't know, 12 or 1 or 2 ish and be there all afternoon, then late in the evening we plan to head to a night of music at the french institute. Catch the bus to ...

James

we hear there is a rave planned for fri-sat-sun on Crammond. (and if there wasn't I'm sure someones thinking of it now!) We might do Cammo Estate instead, same time. watch this space.

and working sunday, Roman .. I'll be your night manager.

James

sunday i'm seeing a film then probably night managing - but meet forest 3:30pm?
Buts lets try to get a regular slot that swith & pomme can come to.

James

last safe crossing is 12 - so 11am bus is the last one its possible to catch.

tell people and spread the word ... this is being organised by me and some of the EVS guys. if noone turns up they'll be learning english from me and noone wants that :-p

James

milk, you up for running one? sunday lunch maybe? I'm sure between us one of can be there every sunday, or we could do it fortnightly. Pomme, Swithun, other board games to?

James

This saturday, the 21st ....
Catch the number 41 bus from Bristo Place at 11am to Crammond and spend the afternoon trapped on the island ...
Bring water, food, games, fun and anything else you want ...

(It will be safe to leave the island from 9pm to 1am that night.)

James

not really interested in online chess, I lose concentration to much between moves and am shit.
I used to have chess clock program on my mobile phone actually, I'll try to find it again.

James

so i've been ill for a week and a bit now. its very annoying. i can't talk properly i am getting very bored I will be around forest tuesday 17th from 8 or 9pm. I challenge any good chess players to a match. Last time I looked, I couldn't find any chess pieces. If you have a chess board to, that woul...

James

if no-one with better design skills will do it ...

James

Have spoken to Bill. I will be putting the following poster up soon: Important: Do you know how sometimes you can't work in your studio because of events happening in the hall? In august, it will be like that almost all the time, night and day. We can have no noise and light spillage from the balcon...
