Do we want in as one of the twelve? Probably first come first serve, but who knows. What is our two line description?folks
ive been asked to a do a two page spread from new internationalist
amgazine in their action section. they have section in it called
hotspots. have you seen it? ive got a scanned in version I can send off
list - please ask me.
it's a great opportunty - one page is a description of social centres -
in the middle theres a map (uk and ireland) and on right is a list of
social centres
so questions are:
1. am I ok to do it?
2. we can list about a dozen centres - so we need about a 2 line
description of these places with website - I can do or you lot out there
can send me your descriptions yourselves
I will take something from whats the place and the red pepper article
for the left hand text of 1000 words and send it round for approval.
and its that easy!

Re: social centre promo
yeah do it.
im sure you can manage the description
if not use this one, from the mission statement:
"it is like forest is a fucking awesome multicolour laser, the working groups are each a different colour of light, and the world is the darkness which the laser cuts thru like a ultrasharp razor, destroying everything in its path."

Maybe it could work? But it will be a kaleidoscopic blend of mysterious shadows and rainbow hued-dreams seen through compassionate tears.
Re: social centre promo
It would probably be good if people agreed on the description for this and I'm really busy until the beginning of October...
Should it be the standard '...self-managed, independent, not-for-profit arts and community space....powered by a vegetarian cafe'?? Laser good but maybe not without something else to give it context??

Re: social centre promo
def with some context. I've used the book thing Shannon wrote us some text for before to point out places to ppl ... this is a good opportunity.
something like:
"The Forest is a volunteer run arts center, with a fully vegetarian cafe, with free and open submission events, workshops, gallery exhibitions and meeting space, a free shop, an artists shop, and cheap artists facilities like band rehearsal rooms. And Lasers."
at a very quick attempt.

Re: social centre promo
i find lists of things we do , very overwhelming . i prefer chris as it inspires rather than bamboozles . it promotes vision and imagination rather than a list of things . just do it rather then say , make the text the thing itself rather than words refering to something.

Re: social centre promo
I can send the laser thing, but I doubt we will get included unless it also says something that will mean something to people who are not us. It would be good to have some combination of concrete description and abstract interestingness...in two lines.
