Les, the owner of the Bazaar called. He's giving us three dates to choose from -- September 19, September 20, September 21. He has no equipment for screening the DVD so if we can't find a TV and a DVD player to bring there, then I will go ahead and work on some kind of discussion about peak oil with Dave Room, Richard heinberg, others.

a place to screen The End of Suburbia

I am still working on a place for September. Got a little information but I'll work on the USF and Urban connections this week. I cannot make it tonight because of an event I will be attending at Berkeley Old City Hall. I'll try to send over the info on the places I communicated with later. See you all next month.

I have invited two people to come to the Transp. meeting about some issue that I no longer recall. I forwarded my invite to the TWG listserv -- does anyone remember what the issue was and who the people were? Unless, I've been in a deep sleepy dream (which is entirely possible) at least one of this people RSVPed positively.

I've checked with Michael O'Connor re. The Independent -- it's expensive. Other possibilities: the Korean American Community Center, and the large church on Sutter (or Post) where one of the D5 forums was held last fall.

Hi Pat, We met at the SF Green Party booth at the Haight Street Fair. You were going to look into a place where we could screen "The End of Suburbia." Any luck? Thanks for doing this. Sue Vaughan 668-3119

27 Jun '05

Reminder: tomorrow is the 4th Tuesday, so we have a Transpo meeting at 7. Please forward agenda items to this list. I can think of: 1) Any update to our movie showing plans? 2) What recommendation should we make to the party regarding endorsment of the transpo-related initiatives? (Have the MTA- related ones qualified or will they qualify for the ballot?) We may not be ready to make a decision without final text of the bills, but we can at least discuss them.
