Forest BB

Susana

Maybe if we canot agree on where to put it we may have to do without it, as sad as that would be.... but it is true that the entrance to the forest feels like some extension of the homeless place next door (no offence, but you knopw what I mean...). Maybe we just 'suspend it' at least till we have a...

Susana

I know. That is what I said to her: visual arts intimidating?! What a pity. That, I find sad indeed. Her work is very much what many people would call 'nice', which is not in vogue apparently in the arts world. She would fit perfectly among the 'Illustration' artists of the ECA final year degree sho...

Susana

Actually as it happens it turns out I cannot join you at all. But thanks for your concern anyway. I hope you have an interesting and productive day.

Susana

I would cook a whole tray of Sushi or Vegan Pies or whatever to anyone who would repair a couple of electronic toys I have at home

. One of them just needs a new battery, I think, but I cannot open the thing

Susana

I was remembering this morning how it was a woman's action what started the Civil Rights Movement in the 50s in USA.

Re. the front room: Can I offer myself to nake big cushions for the window area? I would need someone else for advice on what type of material/ colour,etc..., where to get the material (old curtains is a tempting idea but usually they are not washable... so bad idea, apparently). But maybe you want ...

Susana

Well, the thing is some time ago I found some art work at the free shop and kept it. I assumed the owner had lost it. I've been trying to look for her and finally got in touch. But she says that she did it on purpose because her work is lying around just gathering dust.... I couldn't believe it, suc...

Susana

At about 1pm, today, I will be at the Forest with a bottle of cava to celebrate Obama's election. You are welcome to join me. You may get a thimble of it... God knows what he will do with 'real politics' but just 40 years ago, in the sixties, Martin Luther King and Malcom X were assassinated for wan...

Susana

I love exploring cities. It is a pity that I cannot join you at that time of the morning but I may look for you at the Plaza just before 1pm. Already back in the eighties (from what I had been told) there was an 'alternative' tour offered to tourists which was about all the suburbs of housing states...

Susana

If i were you I would try to listen to something by her.... extraordinary . (I imagine that on the wake of her death there will be a lot of uploaded music by her on the web) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7707522.stm (Check her original name: Zoila August Empress Chavarri of the Castle in...

Susana

It would be great perhaps to have a green house where to grow herbs? (so expensive in the shops... and so important for tasty vegan food...). I'll speak to Sam anyway.

Susana

Chapeau my friend!!!! Congrats.

Susana

Had a wee idea: Apparently we have tons of that plastic material used for the new lamps in the cafe. WHat about creating a (new) curtain out of it making sure that it fills the whole front. Maybe we don't even have to cut it into thinner strips, just hang about 3 of them in their normal width and in...

Susana

Tomorrow, Wednesday, Mark Thomas, the activist comedian, opens the fair at 7 pm. If I were you I would really try to Go along. He is a cracker. And you learn tons in half an hour!!! Honestly.

The fair is in Out of the blue, Dalmeny St, off Leith Walk (if I am not wrong)

Susana

I was thinking, don't you think that it would be lovely/grateful, basically a joy, to have those great photos exhibited at the gallery????? Bristo Place would become a sort of rainbow and passersby

would flock in>>>>> Me thinks

Susana

Count me for the meeting and for the action. Thanks

Susana

Thank you Ryan. I enjoyed it. The best thing for me was to be able to say what I thought without fear of making a fool of myself and on top of that seeing that sometimes I had the same point of view as other people. I remember the sessions we had at school that were so ever dry, like trying to swal...

Susana

(I've just approached the Visual Arts group and they suggested I open this topic here, in the People's Forum) So, this is it: I had this idea that it could be nice to project fractal animation on the wall at the cafe just as a background thing sometimes during the day, or from time to time. I have a...

Susana

I discovered that there is a group of psychologists from Poland who are starting to practice here. They are really affordable. In fact up to now it was through donation, soon they will start charging £15, I think. They follow a technique called Process Oriented Psychology (POP) and it has its roots ...

Susana

I would love to take part.

Susana

I don't know if this is the group in charge of a decision like this. I had this idea that it could be nice to project fractal animation on the wall at the cafe just as a background thing sometimes during the day, or from time to time. I have a dvd with a series of videos of very different fractal an...

Susana

In case anybody is interested they are selling right now an ukelele at OXfam, Nicolson St (£20)

Susana

Dan, thanks a lot for this info. I'll try to pass it around

Susana

I saw today the new front of the shop with the bags hanging and the lights. Great!!!! What an improvement. Maybe we could manage to have also a book and a cd showing so that the representation is wider and fairer.....

Susana

Maybe this will help?

that is the first entry in google when i searched for 'convert m4a to mp3'

(sorry if you've already tried and this is a stupid suggestion....)

Susana

I totally agree with making the front room an inviting place. But as Cyrille and other people say putting the free shop in the main shop could potentially be disastrous. I'll tell you a little (tragicomic) tale: Last year I did some volunteer work in this charity shop. At some point this guy and his...

Susana

Oh yes, the cover is very graphic. But if what you want is a stream of images then you will have to go for erotic comics. I don't know where you would find them here.... not in the library though (except for one dead sordid Japanese one that I found in Sighthill library of all places...., joyously p...

Susana

Michael, point taken.

Susana

I was dealing with this cupboard and came across all these things that I had bought for my travels, from sleeping bag to mosquito nets, plug-in mosquito repellent, utensils for eating, an electrical device for boiling water, torches, etc and I thought that it is a pity they are sitting there doing n...

Susana

Answer: 1. I still have to find out. But do bear in mind that where I come from we already have a highly developed imaginary regarding the Arab/Turkish/Persian cultures (think 'One thousand and one nights', etc...). Even Spanish children are mesmerized by it (in an innocent way of course) because at...

Susana

!!!!!!!!! Wow.

Is that aggressive or what?

Susana

Ha! I just came back from Marseille.... Of course I bought the book. You may borrow it once I've read and fully enjoyed it. It may take me time though.... like when something is so good you try to savour it slowly...., lingering on every page. (BTW it is in French but I think most of you studied Fre...

Susana

I was away for some time... Sorry if my comments came across as destructive, negative criticism. It wasn't my intention; I just thought to let people know of comments I've heard as it is essential for the health and potential growth of the Forest. The point about my experience with the projector, we...

Susana

Here is an example

Susana

Since we are in a reflective mood I am afraid I have a point or two to add here: Recently a friend of mine mentioned, in passing by, that the Forest is a club. I am sure he wasn't talking for himself but rather about what he picked up at ECA where he was studying. Also some time ago this musician sa...

Susana

I couldn't resist it: English mostly from Japan..

(look specially for the sophisticated boutique...)

That is the 'adult' section, of course. There are tons more of other types)

Susana

There is a Turkish shop up Clerk St, opposite that mega video shop in a corner.

And if I am not mistaken there is another in Bruntsfield, opposite the petrol station.

Good luck

Susana

Google okupa Barcelona

Good luck!

Susana

I was waiting to hear of the exact date but since I haven't and since there hasn't been many thick and fast ideas coming what if I just go ahead and get a card? I will hang it on the board to give people a chance to remember and honour Jack and maybe we sent it to his family. ????

Susana

It had been decided that the Caltongate Development was going ahead. But it was discovered that the Council did not deal correctly with the campaign complaints, so they have to give us another chance. This may be a golden opportunity because: - the Scottish Executive may decide to launch a public en...

Susana

I came across this while surfing the blog of a cartoon producer that I like very much. She has produced amazing things and in particular she has an award winning feature film that she would like to give away but doesn't know how to and is asking for ideas on how to do it. I thought that perhaps you...

Susana

I have this relative's address from when we sent the Christmas card, and her phone number.

Susana

I don't know the exact date but even if we don't know it we could just take any day, I suppose

Susana

I was thinking, shall we do something to mark Jack's anniversary? Maybe light some candles on a certain day, send a card to his family, etc? Maybe this is not something that people usually do around here, I don't know, but I think that it would be nice to do something and that, in fact, if we don't ...

Susana

Neil, you are welcome to borrow my iPod if you haven't managed to download the files. Also I have an AtoZ with all the maps.

Susana

Did half of it yesterday. Very interesting. I strongly recommend it. You can make of the claims whatever you want, it is fascinating in any case. A few tips: (if you prefer to go blindly don't read them ;-) At the third 'station' you will find that the roots have been covered with tarmac (safety iss...

Susana

Thanks for pointing this out, Dai.
I've managed to download all the mp3s.

Susana

Christ, let's hear more of that!!!!

As a Brazilian friend of mine said: if only a good and sizable group of our people could be sent to the Middle East they would stop all these wars....

Shall we check all these on our selves first???

I just thought, as an aperitif, while you wait for your copy of 'evidence of honey' I strongly recommend 'Aphrodite' by Isabel Allende, a book of aphrodisiac recipes with juicy stories... Hey, it could become the book of recipes for The Forest! The only such cafe in town!
