i dunno, i'm pretty sure there's something on tv that night, or maybe i'll just feel like sitting at home, why can't you rearrange it for next time i feel like going out? not that i'm guaranteeing i'll be there that night, maybe i won't be arsed. it's your job to guess.

 

[bohs punks]

are discharge the tbc at this?

 

[mazzyianne]

Ed spud learned how to bind books at k-town, maybe he could teach that at the zine thing. Sounds cool, nice one.

 

[Dylan]

Nah its not discharge.

One of them was supposed to be Kid Blunt but theyre in England til the day after so thats a bit of a problem..

Should know in about a week what bands it'll be.

Oh yeah and if you have a diy distro or info stall that you'd like to set up then just ask ([email protected])

 

[W.]

who's doing the zine workshop?

attendance should be mandatory for certain ppl.



also have u ever seen berlusconis mousetrap, guerrillavision or the mayday04 videos? all are worth showing.

 

[spuded]

is this defo goin ahead, apparently me and natalia are doin the zine workshop, although methinks you'd need well over an hour for the workshop.

 

[jillface]

Yeh apparently me and damo are doin a gigs workshop... I wonder how long we get to do it etc....

 

[ian bastardcore]

wow thats really cool that thats happening in dublin , fair play dylan ...
if you need any help at all , mail me .

 

[pete]

isn't 30 minutes a bit short for workshops?

shut up, brady

 

[Dylan]

Whos doing what:

·BAND –How to start, get gigs, record & set-up a tour (w/ Willie + Other)

·ZINE – How to make, how to improve & how to get distribution (w/ Natalia + Ed Lucidity)

·EVENT – How to organise an event/ gig (w/ Jill + Damien)

·CYCLING – Why ride a bike, bike safety & general bike maintenance (w/ Tamarack + Brook)

·FOOD – General vegetarian health & cooking (w/ Neil + Niall?)


I think Erin might be looking for people to help her with Food Not Bombs.

Still havn't had any word from Distros or info stalls???

If any body would like to do any other Poster workshops then please do. Just draw instructions for whatever craft or 'art' or whatever on an A3 piece of paper and leave it in to Red Ink before next Tuesday. That'd be great.

Also we're on the look out for materials like material (!), lino, light card (for stencils), craft knives and stuff like that to make a treasure box for people to take stuff from to make whatever they learnt so if anyone can get any of those free that'd be real handy.

Cheers to everyone for all the positive support this is getting, its really encouraging -oh shit here comes waterworks -gimme a hug ...Weeler

 

[bohs punks]

this sounds cool dylan but in a positive constructive way i would agree that 30 minutes is way too short for workshops, especially if they are to be participative rather than lecture style events. maybe you could run them simultanously in differnt corners of the same room or something?

could someone PM me erin's phone no?
we've got a few bits and pieces left over from the jolly useless distro i could try and flog, and a bag of scraps of old tshirts and stuff i was keeping to make patches, but i'm not mad into patches so if that would be any use i could bring it?

 

[Corm]

Yeah Nooly, flog off the ol' Rogers sure.

 

[damien]
