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

21:12 < Bluestreak> ahoy!
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.
21:23 < jokeefe> Pirate Picnic - https://piratenpad.de/p/MAPP2016Picnic
21:24 < jokeefe> if you are going, please add your name
21:27 < jokeefe> any other events we should work to turn people out for?
21:28 < jokeefe> or other issues anyone wants to discuss?
21:29 < Bluestreak> Who is going to HOPE?
21:29 < MosesMPP> just as a heads up

        police brutality

21:34 < srevilak> thanks MosesMPP
21:34 < srevilak> Last Wed's march drew a good crowd.  Went from BRIC
        house to Dudley.  At the end of the march, there were so many people
        they couldn't all fit into dudley station
21:35 < Bluestreak> Lots of Facebook Live, too
21:35 < Bluestreak> Couln’t share M Kravitz’s feed for some reason

21:38 < srevilak> that's it -- we'll see where things go from there
21:39 < jokeefe> did anyone go to the meeting on Thu, to talk about
        next steps?
21:39 < jokeefe> or hear about what was discussed?
21:39 < srevilak> wasn't able to make that meeting
21:41 < jokeefe> noe, Aaron will be door knocking this Saturday?

21:42 < jokeefe> good to know
21:42 < noe> sadly, i won't be there, but i know nick and aaron intend
        to doorknock
21:43 < noe> i think the group has completely done his neighbrohood,
        so we should aim for a neighborhood closer to Tufts probably
21:43 < jokeefe> wish I could be there this Sat.
21:44 < Bluestreak> Me too. I am still struggling with my health or
        I would!
21:44 < Bluestreak> OH!
21:44 < Bluestreak> I can call!
21:44 < Bluestreak> Y’all got some numbers?
21:45 < noe> we have emails!
21:45 < noe> we realized that our press contacts are pretty outdated
21:45 < noe> I will try to email you numbers once I can verify a human
        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.
21:46 < Bluestreak> We will be in Cambridge late Sat night to pick up
        our son.
21:47 < jokeefe> thanks, Bluestreak
