Aaron James Campaign. They're doing doorknocking. Would love to have more people participate in door knocking events. To that end, they'll be knocking on doors 2pm every Saturday. Please contact the campaign if you can help!

Pirate picnic. Please add your name to the pad if you're planning to go. Also, if you can bring food, drinks, etc, please make a note of that as well.

21:09 < MosesMPP> is the audio somewhere?
21:09 < jokeefe> Will be
21:09 < srevilak> MosesMPP: not yet, needs editing first
21:09 < jokeefe> Got some folks using OTR
21:10 < jokeefe> And hopefully mailvelope

21:13 < jokeefe> ahoy noe
21:13 < srevilak> hi noe
21:13 < noe> hi!  just met up with folks canvassing with Aaron
21:14 < jokeefe> Anything else to add about the Somerville Public Library
        Cryptoparty, srevilak?
21:14 < jokeefe> Looks like we could do another one in the fall
21:14 < noe> Do we want video of this one?
21:14 < srevilak> jokeefe: no -- I think it was a successful event,
        and I'd look forward to doing another
21:14 < jokeefe> fall? sure
21:15 < jokeefe> noe, would you give an update on Aaron James’ Campaign?
21:15 < noe> sure!
21:15 < jokeefe> thanks
21:15 < noe> right now we're in a phase where doorknocking and general
        pr is really important
21:16 < noe> Aaron and other volunteers would love to hae more regular
        doorknocking
21:16 < jokeefe> when is the next one?
21:16 < noe> and to that end, we'll be doorknocking at 2pm every Saturday
21:16 < jokeefe> cool
21:16 < noe> Some of us would like to organize a Pokemon Go centered
        meet the candidate thing
21:17 < jokeefe> lol
21:17 < noe> And although I'm pushing for an informal friendly Go of it,
        others in the committee would rather have it be more formal :/
21:17 < noe> If people have ideas, please hit me up.
21:18 < noe> Although using SCATV is an idea, we don't have enough staff
        available to make the show possible right now:  something that Aaron
        would like, but wouldn't necessarily be heavily involved in
21:19 < noe> We have an event scheduled for August 30th
21:20 < noe> So, TL;DR -- please contact us at info@aaronjames.org and
        come doorknock with us on Saturdays!
21:22 < noe> (did we already talk about the picnic?)
21:22 < jokeefe> not yet
21:23 < jokeefe> but can now.

21:34 < srevilak> Last Wed's march drew a good crowd.  Went from BRIC

        they couldn't all fit into dudley station

        to doorknock

        so we should aim for a neighborhood closer to Tufts probably

21:44 < Bluestreak> Me too. I am still struggling with my health or
        I would!

        is at the end of that line
21:46 < Bluestreak> OK
21:46 < Bluestreak> I don’t have the energy to pester you, so don’t
        forget.

        our son.
