It's whateve we choose to MAKE IT GET CRAFTY, DRAW TOGETHER, CUT and PASTE CREATIONS from crap, Scribble on a scrap rap, Make a card, a collage, a poster, paint a picture, a t-shirt, a c.d. cover, a record cover, write a wee story, make a wee book...

Elaine ( Eli ) and me want to get a regular drama workshop on the go which will have an emphasis on comedy characters and moovement. We were talking about the possibility of Monday nights. We will meet chez Forest next week at some point to discuss, so get in touch if you're intersted! Twud be very ...

The Living thing's thing is the gardening people's idea. I don't really have anything to do with it. Twill all be cool.

danny

Every Sunday ( starting 22nd Sept. ) from 1-4 and maybe even after we'll have the Art thing downstairs in the cafe. At the moment it's looking like the regulars will be my friends Anna and Rosy ( http://www.doodlehut.com ) and some folk who run a scrapstore called "bits and bobs" for obvious reasons...

danny

It's up there on the balcony somewhere.

You are completely overlooking the earning capacity of selling c.d.'s that cost next to nothing to buy of creating performances that we can take outside of the Forest. Luckily I have some money now so I can pay for the cave time anyway and demonstrate what I mean in a more practical way ( assuming t...

danny

My friend Rosy has some badges she would like to sell for about 40p. They have desings like "bee happy", "free hugs", "happy here and now" on them. Very fluffy I thought ( I mean not with actual physical fluff on them ).

THE FOREST IS A LEGEND!

The Late night Drama Drama group is the only group that I know is DEFINATELY still running.

Afterthought: Twud be handy if we had a way of deleting or editing these posts after putting them up

danny

So we could shut off the upstairs power for an hour. Just candles. It might work well with the monastic night thing. It'd be nice for acoustic music, drawing or whatever really.. It reminds me of that advert in the cinema, err.."sometimes people turn on when things turn off" not that I'm a marketing...

danny

Yeah! I'm into the quiet night and the blindfold event ideas. The quiet night could be completely monastic.
Anything with hats in it has got to be good although I hate those freaky looking white masks

danny

I could be up all night with ideas, if that's what's called for yes but not working with some cheeky cyberspace moose though. Give me a REAL moose to work with and maybe I could get something together.

danny

Thanks for that Tom. You seem to have to scrape so hard that the paint comes off the fence. Those Quartermile people must use some sort of solution to scrape that stuff off.

danny

So. Nana and me went down there with hot water, cloths and Free SHop videos to scrape off the shit. Looks like these videos are shit scrapers though. We need to come back at this with proper metal scrappy things.

danny

After we have sorted the crappy wall slashings and painted over the bollox. We should get some QUALITY toilet humour going in there. I spoke to a guy with a strange looking beard who wanted to stick little cut and pasted snippets to the walls. He showed me what he had done so far, I thought it was q...

danny

Tis my thirtieth today. I think I'd like to celebrate in Forest. It would be cool to get some serious sortage on the go though at some point soon.

The Melting Pot's intent is to inspire, resource and support social innovators to realise their imaginative initiatives for a radically better world. I happened to bump into my old housemate Clare who now runs this place. They are having a ten day decorating/fitting out party in the last two weeks ...

danny

:D OH YES! OH YES! Fuck Me! We'll have Angels on the tree! Heaven sent, hellbent and unrepentant! We'll have tinsel on our mistletoes, We'll have our hands on our hoes, as that feeling grows in our jingle balls of joy! Sackloads of fun for every girl and boy! and for Mum and Dad too! WE LOVE YOU Ano...

danny

Tea shirts! We can make fun simple designs with a fabric pen. I'm gonna get some soon! YES! Or by stitching simple stuff! Mugs! Festive Handpainted Mugs has to be a must. Can we get some sort of mug painting thing happening? Bits and bobs re-cycled scrap store did a Christmas card workshop last year...

danny

Puttin the 2011 plans on the back burner for a mo, is there anything that we could get ready for the Freshers fair at the End of September?

danny

Heh, heh..

danny

A half-ass eh? I'd rather be a half ass than a TOTAL ARSE! In case you haven't noticed everything that happens in the Forest is pretty half-assed, it's the way it works here! If you were as clever as you pretended to be, you'd realise that there is a perfect wisdom to allowing things to be half asse...

danny

-In a teacherly voice- You really must find some people who are genuinely interested in this. Mr. Mullins or it just won't happen. They'll think you're all talk and no trousers! You can't always rely on the people who are just here to drink tea and wine and stuff themselves with Nachos to take inte...

danny

Like the CREATE idea. This is for the large blue fence that runs from middle meadow walk to the meadows except this uses waste fliers rather than stripping off the posters that are there. We Spell the word "WASTE" on the fence using a mix of out of date wasted festival fliers and enviromation fliers...

danny

The long blue fence that runs along the edge of middle meadow walk to the meadows is plastered in festival posters at the moment. I like the idea of scraping off areas of poster to spell the word "CREATE" in GIGANTIC letters. Then later add "RE" to make it "RECREATE". Then it could become "RECREATIO...

danny

TOTALLY! Degree idea and masonic handshake thing are cool ideas. I'd love to be involved in one way or another. Stuff we could give away/sell. COMEDY HIPPY TEAS I'll do some of the images and the blurb if maybe someone can help me with the packaging design? MUGS We should SOoo have our own hand-desi...

danny

If people could allow me some free time in the studio to develop performances with people that would be AMAZING! I guess it's kind of like we're asking for a record company advance that we'll pay back once we get cash from the gigs, the, c.d.'s, the T-shirts, the books of the films, the designer bum...

I FEEL FREE! Free in the Forest, So the vibe outside on the street was UPBEAT getting down clowing around sounds so good If I could I would scrawl in BIG LETTERS FREE on the wall! So we talked chalk, cardboard tubes, graffiti and paint But if we spray can will the council complain? If we spray can w...

ENVIROMENTAL ARTS First meeting: 12-3 Friday in the Chai Tea house to show and share, prepare and plan, collaborate and create. We are a group of friends who met through the hub of all happenings that is HERE. We enjoy getting creative in the funnest most fulfilling way possible, in the most environ...

danny

I think we need some sort of events here that raise awareness of the climate camp event at Heathrow. Could we get some sort of Web-link up?

danny

It'd be nice to have some friendly fliers/ads up in Forest friendly places. I'll ask the Bongo people about it. Tried emailing them but I guess some people get so many emails that they just ignore the ones that aren't immediately pressing. I'm quite keen to spread the word about this crazy Forest he...

danny

Sounds good. I think I'd like to be involved if I 'm free. Twud make sense to have a poster up in volunteer exchange too. And other places too.

danny

I reckon we keep the myspace and make people more aware of why we seriously considered NOT having it, Rupert Murdoch etc. No harm in having a facebook too if someone wants to do that. The more ways people feel they can be a part of the Forest the better.

danny

Yeah, I think that the downstairs bit wants to have a white floor to go with the white/black walls. We just need the uber strength varnish whatever that is. The green splodges of colour that are there now could be painted over in Black.

danny

Yes Danny, what a great idea! Alex tells me wants to make a suit from fliers at the end of the fest. Why not make the end of the fest the focus for this dude? cos most of the fliers are for stuff that is running the whole length of August. If you could get hold of S.t.i.r. network they do some re-cy...

danny

Does anyone know if there is a residents association that could be contacted bout the garden out back? It seems the bit that Forest has looked after is all nice and looked after and the rest of it is overgrown, manky, unloved and rarely used. I'd like find out how they might feel about us using more...

danny

I'm thinking encouraging volunteering through community arts missions is the funnest way. I put some ideas in the "Posters" section. It'd be nice to Let the branches of the Forest grow out there into town, into other foresty organisations, shops etc. But the places that most need a bit of the Forest...

My friend Elaine and me would like to do some Drama Workshops and devise with the group in September once your show is done. Is there another day/time you would consider meeting? I have a gig on a Tuesday night normally. Thursday eve or Sunday afternoon would suit us better.

danny

I think I'd like to learn more about gardening. I wondered about buying "an idiots guide to gardening", if that book exists. Idiots.. Clowns.. Fools.. In the East somewhere or "Great Fool" is another name for a zen master. In the West "great fool" can more commonly means: Knob, Dickhead, Asshole or ...

danny

This is a great idea. You could do it for more than an hour even. It reminds me of that advert on the telly about the the New York Powercut and how it was a time when people really came together. Can't remember what the ad was for now.

danny

I've got a book in the house which seems sinilarly Foresty. "The Underachievers Manifesto - The Guide to accomplishing litle and feeling great". It's a total half assed masterclass and you're all welcome to borrow it. I don't want to give it to the library though, cos my last library offerings inclu...

Idea for more exciting posters: We cut and paste relevant pieces from other out of date flyers onto the advertising, making it much effective, more fun, more artistic, more eco-friendly. Why stop there? Why just promote events? We could promote concepts. FUN. Using entirely re-cycled materials, one ...

danny

A wee eco art/advertising idea: I'd like to use out of date fliers and advertising material as collage material to make new advertising material for cool events. These ads will clearly be very different to all the other posters out there, so far less of them will be needed to make the desired impact...

danny

I think that we should move the noticeboard to a more noticeable place. Like on the opposite wall or above the clothes rail.
I don't know if we even need to keep that old one. There is a chipboard in the free shop at the moment we could use. Another one of those would be enough.

danny

I'd like to help with the advertising. I've been spreading the word to various local musos about the free late spots. If someone sends me the details of what else is booked in then I can do something on Monday or Tuesday eve.

danny

I still haven't written my piece about this place yet. I tried several times but the words became pictures or poems or rhythms or rhyme or laid back lazy alliterated lines And the perfectionist in me couldn't let any of them BE! FREE! for everyone around me to SEE! Open eyes, open minds open hearts ...

danny

I'd like to see this sort of thing grow into an exhibition in the Gallery. I think it's important that people express what this place means to them clearly. Myself included. I know for a fact that there are people round about with the kind of money that could save Forest from being bought out by som...
