Katie,
Glad to hear it! I'm heading up to the NH planning meeting this
afternoon. I'm also part of the Community Gathering support for Citizens
United on Monday, and in my spare time I'm building a large plywood
elephant silhouette on wheels that we'll work into the opening night in
NH. It will be "the elephant in the room" and will be decorated with
paper, pictures and video (on screens) of what the crowd would like to say
to the debaters if they could get into the room.
NH still needs support on opening night: Fri, Jan 6, starting at 6. I will
drive up to set up the elephant and a large carport tent that can partly
serve as OB Central. Matthew Shochat plans to be up there as a continuous
OB presence.
Many people will cycle through from OB so having fliers and info available
would be good. As you know, though, I personally object to the Declaration
of Occupation so I don't want that flier from the Info Tent group to be
promoted. I realize I don't control that, but I just wanted to say, since
I heard they distributed it at First Night.
Realistically, I won't make GA this week. Ben Janos and Matthew can
hopefully help cover. I may find time to help write things while the paint
dries, but don't wait for me if other people can move that forward.
I created a wiki page for Occupy NH Primary, OB Working Group. I thought
it might be useful to place bus and carpool info there as well as
OB-specific plans. So far, it's only got what I put there. I hope others
will start posting info there so that people can see it even if they're not
on a specific mailing list.
I'm relieved to hear that we're kicking into gear! Can't wait to hear more
about the flash mob. I'll check in and tell what I learned later tonight.
Great new year to you and us all!
Susi
