'ello.

Just having a chat with Ryan re Culture Laser & also a Naughty Boys gig?

Where is the Google Calender?

And what date (in July) is everything getting nailed down by and flyers designed/printed?

RachelMcCrum

I have just found this thread. I was looking in the wrong place. Where is the Google calender, please, my dears? Can someone post a link? I'm planning on keeping my head on the kitchen (and booze) side of things this August, to keep it running, but I'd like to see how things are shaping up. I can bo...

Hi there

There are some things in Toffee Apple that are for FOOP, I think...they're on the shelves, not the boxes. Banana chips, dried figs, dried chickpeas, soap etc.

ALSO! There are boxes for y'all! Under the Events Board/sound desk thing in the Cafe.

RachelMcCrum

Yo.

Who is the current Sound Team, and au fait/confident/competent/tech wizardy???

We really need the sound equip at Lauriston checked (and chucked, if necessary), and some training done...

Like, urgently.

Hi all Just to let yous know - Inky will be back at Forest for monthly Open Mics and workshops from the start of October. We're in the Event Book an' all - but just to let the bb know too... We'll be running the Open Mic on the evening of the FIRST Tuesday of the month (not the fourth, as before), a...

Hello all, I was having a chat with MGD yesterday as the sun streamed into the Cafe, and people were hangin' out with their bottles of wine and sunglasses and lookin' all cool and ruffian... Menu idea to get food sold along with all this corkage that we're doing: Plates of olives/bread, oil & vinega...

RachelMcCrum

I got the impression it's quite lo-fi, for a hi-fi night. But they seem cool. Would love to see a trial, if it can be managed.

So, the basement is getting cleared next week.

How are we looking for a couple of days to round up some strongarms, close the cafe, and blast all that which needs to be blasted?

Eventfolk. A guy came in last week asking about a possibly monthly event (pref a Saturday night) in Forest for 'Eclectic Mud' - a group of vinyl junkies who used to play in Nobles in Leith, but are looking to move to more congenial surroundings. They have their own decks - but would require PA - and...

That's us.

May I take December, please?

Is the deadline still Sat?

RachelMcCrum

Hey Cam, have FBed you too - if I can co ordinate with Alex/Billy, will drop stuff to theirs this afternoon and you can pick up before Ukie.

He over-zealously pokes his ukulele and glockenspiel into as many events as possible

yes....

I have Forest Merch stuff at my flat: GH books, Stolen Stories, Calenders, Radio Awesome chapbooks and some badges. About 10 copies of each (Jason has the rest of the Forest Publications stuff). I can make up a bag to be sold at Ukeboogie, although I can't always promise I can attend to sell it (alt...

Hey IdeasTap are running a free event on Friday 25th November (i.e. this one) to launch the Sky Arts Ignition Funds. Artists aged 18 - 30 welcome to apply. The event is 2 - 5pm, at Creative Scotland (Waverly Gate, end of North Bridge) including chat from Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian) about care...

Yum.

Old St Paul's have quoted £160 for use of hall, 10am to midnight on Saturday 10th December, for both banquet and scavanger hunt.

What do you think? I think it seems fair. Would like to be able to confirm today if possible.

xx

RachelMcCrum

Spoke with Jean from OSP re hiring the hall for scavenger hunt/vegan banquet funtimes. I said from 10am - midnight, and that we were a charity - she's getting back to me with a price today. Will let you know as soon as I do.

xx

RachelMcCrum

Will help with whatever is required.

Can you let me know what dates you decide upon, lovely? Can we avoid a clash with the Scavenger Hunt?

Hey vagabonds & ruffians all, For your delight + wonderment + energy this weekend - a 48 hour filmhunt from Forest and Word of Mouth cafe. 1. You make a team (or you could do it on your own. Maybe you're the mysterious auteur type. Flying solo, making genius) 2. You sign up at projects@forest.org.uk...

RachelMcCrum

For smaller events:

A new cafe has opened on Roseneath St In Marchmont. The owner is a friend of Ericka Duffy's, and apparently they are keen to host events/exhibitions/evenings. I've been in a couple of times - it's lovely, as is the owner Gavin.

This looks to be amazing, nice one!

...sortof...for constantly sh-sh-sh-shushing every volunteer or customer who has been in Forest over the past couple of days for the spoken word events. Right now, we (I) feel like an arse with the constant finger to the lips and we're (I'm) not enjoying it at all, and we (we) completely appreciate ...

Drunk Irish 20 something walking past Teviot (loudly, slurring): 'So, like, I've been up for 23 hours already and I hardly feel it...'

RachelMcCrum

Brilliant idea - I'm in St Andrews or would be absolutely down to help - but nice one, ladycakes!

xx

RachelMcCrum

'mazing.

Stephen, can we sell tickets for a tour of your mind for the Festival? We'd make a killing.

xx

RachelMcCrum

Totally awesome. Totally.

And now I want a macaroni pie.

Hey all Before the big clear out happens tomorrow, I was wondering if anyone has come across two large (about 6 foot long) UV posters with Beltane style drawings on them anywhere in Forest? They were left in by Morag Edwards in early May, and she'd like them back before we move...and I have no idea ...

RachelMcCrum

Hi all I'm very sorry, but I have to be in St Andrews tomorrow and then Glasgow tomorrow evening, so I can't help with the clear out as had planned to. And love nothing more than a great big theraupeutic cleanup, so doubly sorry, in fact. Rather urgently - if anyone comes across two large (about six...

He can kip on our living room floor for a couple of nights. But I wouldn't want to push it past 3 - my flatmates like their space! But grand up to that.

Kata, do you want to pass him over my email? rachel_mccrum@hotmail.com

RachelMcCrum

Hello all

A little late in the day to be jumping on board perhaps, but is this happening? Would love a chance to dress up and wave some stuff...

RachelMcCrum

Hi Francis, this looks amazing! It might be something that craftscotland would be interested in advertising on their website for makers (if there's a 3D aspect) - mark FAO Mel at info@craftscotland.org if so?
